Hi,

it’s possible for me to bind any widget like buttons etc. but i can not bind the UEditableTextBox. VS is compiling without problems but the WidgetBP shows this Error:

Here is my Code:

UPROPERTY(meta = (BindWidget))
			class UButton * HostButton;
		UPROPERTY(meta = (BindWidget))
			class UButton * JoinButton;
		UPROPERTY(meta = (BindWidget))
			class UButton * CancelJoinMenuButton;
		UPROPERTY(meta = (BindWidget))
			class UButton * ConfirmJoinMenuButton;
		UPROPERTY(meta = (BindWidget))
			class UEditableTextBox* AddressField;

Here is the Error Message of the Compiler Results in the Editor:

A required widget binding Address Field of type Text Box was not found.
Internal Compiler Error: Tried to create a property AddressField in scope WPB_MainMenu_C, but another object (ObjectProperty /Script/NearHell.MainMenu:AddressField) already exists there

On the image u can see my Widget hierarchy. Like i said everything is working fine except the editabletextbox.

I tried everything. recompiling, restarting, using another editabletextbox etc…
I think its a bug but i am not sure. Here is a link from the forum

Did the same thing - what the heck is “editable text” anyway - and why is the actual editable text box just called a text box - very confusing!
