[Widget]Is this called every tick?

[Baetong20]

This is text box, and I have set it to change based on the contents of a text variable.
I am wondering if it is called only when the contents of the text variable change, or if it is called every tick regardless of whether the contents change or not.

Those widget functions are called on tick.

Two ( of many ) ways around it

1 Use a reference to the widget, and just update the text from outside the widget when it changes
