My Widget Hierarchy

–Canvas

----- Vertical Box ( Canvas Slot )

------------ Button1 ( Vertical Box Slot )

------------ Button2 ( Vertical Box Slot ) <- I want to attach left side custom widget “CustomMenu”

…

–CustomMenu ( Canvas Slot )

I want to set dynamic position “customMenu” at “button2” left side… How to get “button2” canvas position ??

[my code]

auto canvasSlot = UWidgetLayoutLibrary::SlotAsCanvasSlot( “Button2” ); <- Cast is null !!!
if (canvasSlot)
{
FVector2D position = canvasSlot->GetPosition();
position.X += canvasSlot->GetSize().X;
UWidgetLayoutLibrary::SlotAsCanvasSlot( “CustomMenu” )->SetPosition(position);

}

Button 2 isn’t on the Canvas so that cast will always fail, it’s in a vertical box so it’s slot will be a UVerticalBoxSlot.

You can get the vertical box itself, get it’s slot and get that position.

Thank you reply :slight_smile:
I solved using a viewport coordinates.

USlateBlueprintLibrary::AbsoluteToViewport(GetWorld(), “button2”.absolutePosition, screenPosition, viewportPosition);
“customMenu”.SetPositionInViewport(viewportPosition, false);
