setting CurrentMouseCursor only works after a mouse click

[solved]

I got it.
In case someone is interested:



void 
AMyGameGameMode::allowInputUiOnly(UUserWidget* pWidget)
{
	FInputModeUIOnly inputMode;
	inputMode.SetWidgetToFocus(pWidget->GetCachedWidget() );
	APlayerController* pPc = GetWorld()->GetFirstPlayerController();
	pPc->SetInputMode(inputMode);
}

void 
AMyGameGameMode::allowInputGameOnly()
{
	FInputModeGameOnly inputMode;
	APlayerController* pPc = GetWorld()->GetFirstPlayerController();
	pPc->SetInputMode(inputMode);
}

void 
AMyGameGameMode::allowInputGameAndUi()
{
	FInputModeGameAndUI inputMode;
	inputMode.SetLockMouseToViewport(false);
	inputMode.SetWidgetToFocus(nullptr);
	APlayerController* pPc = GetWorld()->GetFirstPlayerController();
	pPc->SetInputMode(inputMode);
	FSlateApplication::Get().SetUserFocusToGameViewport(0);
}

It is important to call only one of these in a short time.
If you have code which calls first one of the above methods and then another one, chances are, it will not work. Clean your code.
I do only use allowInputUiOnly and allowInputGameAndUi, because I don’t like that allowInputGameOnly holds the cursor hostage inside the game window.
