Hi, I want to create a window that is re-sizable. I can’t find any support for it in the engine. Am I going to have to hack my way around to create a re-sizable GUI? Or am I missing something that might be designed specifically for this? ---

Hi MuzzyA, Look into the UMG system. This should definitely be viable, but we don’t have any documentation on resizable windows at present. If you would like more information on UMG, however, check these out: > **[UMG UI Designer](https://docs.unrealengine.com/5.1/en-US/umg-ui-designer-for-unreal-engine/)** > > A guide to using Unreal Motion Graphics to create UI elements.

I found a way to do it. It wasn’t too bad. Here is how: **OnMouseDown** will detect if the left mouse was pressed, if the cursor is on the the border, then sets the window to have mouse capture if those are true. ![onmousedown.png](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/3X/e/6/e60cb4d7f588b699b6d8aa2ca7c1d8e2e677c4d5.png) **OnMouseMove** will determine if there is mouse capture, then process the resizing of the window depending on which border you clicked. ( Also removes the viewport scale from the mouse cursor so there are no offsets in different resolutions. ) ![onmousemove.png](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/3X/a/b/ab1b6d2aca48cd5f7dd5d326658ae40597d684f9.png) **OnMouseUp** simply removes mouse capture ![onmousedown.png](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/2/c/d/2cd35b70d01ec669844e5e7aa1895c7311e5904c.png) ---

(There are no nodes popping up with similar names when I am dragging geometry or mouse events, neither when searching generally out of context). Could you give me a hint on that? Do those nodes still exist on 4.9? Did you find another way to do it maybe? Thanks a lot
