Is there a way to a keydown event during Dragging widget?

[CupofCoffee]

Hi, I wanna fire event when i specific key down while dragging widget.

i think, using SetFocus function to focus the DefaultDragVisual widget
and cast it to my widget.

but i can’t figure out what to do.

Below is a code summary.

UItemWidget::NativeOnDragDetected(...)
{
  UItemwidget* DragWidget = Cast<UItemwidget>(CreateWidget<UUserWidget>(...));
  DragDropOperation->DefaultDragVisual = DragWidget;
}


//called only when has focus.
UItemWidget::NativeOnKeyDown(...)
{
  bool bDragging = UWidgetBlueprintLibrary::IsDragDropping();
	if (bDragging && key == EKeys::R)
	{
           //...code...
	}
}

I want to do it like the picture below.

ok, it’s not the way i wanted it, but it works in a simliar way.

just SetFocus at OtherWidget And override OnKeyDown event.

i wanted to call the OnkeyDown event directly to a dragging widget,
but it didn’t work…

the code below is a summary of the code i’ve tried.

//Itemwidget.h
UMyDDOperation = DDOper;

UItemwidget::NativeConstruct()
{
	if(DDOper)
	{
		SetFocus();
	}
}

UItemwidget::NativeOnDragDetected(....)
{
  DDOper = Cast<UCustomDDOperation>(UWidgetBlueprintLibrary::CreateDragDropOperation(UCustomDDOperation::StaticClass()));
	
	UNewItemwidget* DragWidget = CreateWidget<UNewItemwidget>(GetWorld(), this->GetClass());
	check(DragWidget)
	DragWidget->ItemObj = ItemObj;
	DragWidget->Tilesize = Tilesize;
	DDOper->DefaultDragVisual = DragWidget;
	DDOper->DragWidget = DragWidget;
	DDOper->ItemObj = ItemObj;
	DDOper->Pivot = EDragPivot::CenterCenter;

	OutOperation = DDOper;
}


UItemwidget::NativeOnKeyDown(...)
{
	FKey key = InKeyEvent.GetKey();
	if(DDOper)
	{	
		// code...
	}
}

oh, in Otherwidget
you need to get DragDropOperation using UWidgetBlueprintLibrary::GetDragDroppingContent() ← this function

FReply UOtherWidget::NativeOnPreviewKeyDown(...)
{

		UMyDDOperation* DDOper = Cast<UMyDDOperation>(UWidgetBlueprintLibrary::GetDragDroppingContent());
		if (DDOper == nullptr) return FReply::Unhandled();

		UItemObject* Obj = DDOper->ItemObj;
		if (InKeyEvent.GetKey() == EKeys::R)
		{
			Obj->ItemRotate();
			UDragwidget* widget = Cast<UDragwidget>(DDOper->DefaultDragVisual);
			if (widget)
			{
				FReply::Handled();
			}
		}
	}
	return FReply::Unhandled();
}
