In Wigets, I cannot add a widget I created as a child to the scroll box. Please help!!

[sinebelli1 (Ali Rohat Ergen)]

My friends, what I’m trying to do is very simple. I’m creating a widget. Then, I try to add that widget as a chield to the scroll box in my Main Widget. I am following tutorials from that guy: UnrealGaimeDev - YouTube

Here my main menu:

It is so simple: Size Box → Scroll Box

Here BPs:

QuestList variable just reference to my scroll box.

Now my whole code working. I m sure, becuase when i try to add to viewport instead of making child to scroll box, it is working. Like this.

The UI I created is not actually as big as the 2nd picture, but it is this big because I added it directly to the viewport.

Please help me <3

Is the quest list a vertical box? Is it visible?

There is a tool called reflector widget that can help you figure out what’s going on.

@DomusLudus

ctor widget that can help you figure out what’s going on.

Quest list is a scroll box. Btw i tried with vertical box too but still not working. I didn’t figure out what is the main problem. When i add this widget to viewport its working, but when i tried to put it any kind of container like scroll box, vertical box, border etc. its not working.

• double check the visibility settings of those 2 elements:
  

• double check the visibility setting of the widget you’re inserting into the Quest List

• double check the zOrder of the Size Box

• or, ideally, as @DomusLudus suggested → run the Widget Reflector to immediately find out what is going on; it takes a while to get used to it, though. But, in short:

  • run:
    

  • pick:
    

  • run the project, add quests, mouse over everything → try to make sense of what the reflector is trying to tell you

If you can’t decipher it (few can), post a screenshot while you mouse over the missing widget; the expected result would look close to:

This is the first time i hear widget reflector. Thank you for teaching me. I will try to use it when i go home. Depending on the situation, I will write the solution to the problem if I can find it. If I cannot find it, I will consult you. Thanks for your interest.

There is also a chance this is not working as intended because of this:

Could you test it by setting a fixed Size Y? The scrollbox full of children may not report its Desired Size back so the Size Box does not really know what to autosize to.

Could you test it by setting a fixed vertical size? The scrollbox full of children may not report its Desired Size back so the Size Box does not really know what to autosize to.

I tried, unfortunatly doesnt work.
Finding the cause of the problem can be good for knowledge. So I’ll try some more, but if I can’t find it, I’ll create a different system

And if you add a couple of Quest Widgets directly in Designer, will they be visible? Or try without size box, just Canvas and scroll box?

@sinebelli1

Quest list is a scroll box.

And can you add widget to a scroll box? Does that work?, I usually put a “vertical box” inside the scroll box and add the widgets there

[sinebelli1 (Ali Rohat Ergen)]

Yes scroll box is a kind of container too. Also guys thanks for interest. I solved it. It is workin. I did the referencing incorrectly. Since I could not define QuesetManager to my MainWidget, any action I made from my QuestManager was not reflected on my main screen. <3
