Not sure where to start off. I have a setup where a menu of items is placed in a vertical box which is inside of a Scrollbox. I want to navigate up and down the vertical box to see the items in the item list menu as in Outer Worlds or Witcher 3, etc… I have a setup but there’s nothing in terms of navigating the menu. I also have a scrollbox but again, no setup. ![345409-image-2021-08-02-191519.png](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/b/5/3/b537e8f61a32ce491c7ca6fd405f97d9b804b39c.png) ![345410-vertical-box.png](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/2/b/3/2b365c9e4abcf53447535010ed2315b7cb586e0f.png) The two functions Move up and Move down don’t do anything because I have not set anything up yet for them. ---

Calculate where you want to move to, then tell scrollbox to scroll there, via SetScrollOffset ![345510-scrollbox.jpg](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/4/3/1/431c18b46e768f3cf05281e0dc84314bef496934.jpeg) ---

Hello! So I managed to get it but in a different way. It’s a bit much, but basically with the controller input I gathered all the children widgets within the vertical box, and put them in an array, and assigned the current index to a variable. That variable designates which index we are t, and therefore, the widget currently selected. I loosely based it off of a tutorial On menu widgets. So far it works but I have to press a button twice in order to get the focus onto the vertical box before I can navigate it. So I now basically have to press up or down one more time before the cursor highlights the one I want highlighted. ![345559-image-2021-08-04-173511.png](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/9/a/c/9acab8ff7a8f1f19096fe4e6c0aef1eaa3b29619.png) ![345651-move-up-and-down-by-selecting-index-in-parent-widg.png](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/9/2/a/92a218fa76b2d925ef25b16e977fb73affa0da53.png) ![345560-image-2021-08-04-173658.png](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/4/7/d/47d434c9d9adfc35800c74019bb9afc88697f34f.png) ---

Also I see the get parent is coming from the widget but may I ask where do I set this?
