[UWidgetComponent | Unreal Engine Documentation

https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest...get/index.html](UUserWidget | Unreal Engine Documentation)

i did try to create and attach UUserWidget to my UStaticMeshComponent but notthing appeared. [TABLE=“class: hierarchy-table, cellspacing: 0”]

You attach UWidgetComponent that is used to render in 3D your UUserWidget (which is not a component)

sorry i forgot to check components header files so i didnt include “Components/WidgetComponent.h”, [TABLE=“cellspacing: 0”]
[TR=“class: normal-row”]

		thanks for help, everything is working now.
