Hi all. Three years from then, I was studying slate and found this useful tutorial that was, as everything in the wiki pages, not updated since 4.9. I gave it a whole overhaul to 4.18 and updated everything, including comments and stuff that I thought could be confusing. I added additional comments and stuff copied from the documentation while having problems to find answers to certain compile errors I was having. There are parts where I don’t exactly know why we are doing it this way… but it works right now. I prefere not to include images on tutorials, since they normally are outdated all the time. I used explanations with text so that updating it is easier in the following versions. > **[A new, community-hosted Unreal Engine Wiki](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/a-new-community-hosted-unreal-engine-wiki/141494)** > > After over a year in maintenance mode, the official Unreal Engine Wiki is now permanently offline. These resources now live on a new community-run Unreal Engine Community Wiki — https://unrealcommunity.wiki/! You will be able to find content from... Thanks for the tutorial ! hopfully this still helps other people in the future. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/slate-tutorial/732)._
