Verse UI Questions

I have 2 questions about programming the UI in verse.
First the easy one, is there any way to use images (jpg/png) through verse? Or is that only useable with the UI editor?

Secondly, it seems like my UI, made purely in verse, does not work with controllers at all. I’m not sure how to change the settings to accomplish this, or if this is even just a bug?

The UI is fairly simply 8 buttons on a grid, with {InputMode := ui_input_mode.All} set on the canvas.
Anyone happen to know why this may be happening?

That’s 4 questions:

  1. no support from verse, texture_block widget is not included in current set of APIs.
  2. correct, you can only display widgets with a texture using a blueprint widget and either hud message device or popup device.
  3. sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t. It does work when you preselect something using a mouse and switch to a controller, but that’s a deal breaker in many cases.
  4. epic knows. We just need some way to focus specific widgets via code, but sadly there is no such thing yet.

Clear, thanks

I guess I’ll need to think up some workaround then
