Widget size

[dvg75]

Hello,

Im trying to make a widget appears when an event is applied to a static mesh.

My problem is i can’t get a fixed size of my widget, canvas panel has a desired/custom/desired or anything else, it does not matter, it will alway go off display.

Any idea why it happened?

thank you

Is it screen space or world space widget? Is it spawned directly on the screen or is it inside of some other widget?

Set Size in Viewport here. You can set the position, too.

How to move a widget panel when I press the mouse button, and follow the mouse cursor

Here are my wWindow’s Up / Down events for left mouse button: [309682-onmousedown.jpg] Above, the Grab Offset is where we clicked in that window - it’s later on used when we move it around. When grabbed, the window calls an event dispatcher that is picked up by main canvas where we drag the windows. …

I’ve managed to get my widget clickable and moveable from point A to somewhere else.

THe widget stays in point A, is being duplicated under the mouse until point B and when mouse button is released just disappears.

And actually never left point A.
