Widgets API

[kingofthebongo2008]

Hey,
I want to access the User Interface widgets in UnrealCLR.

Is there a way now? What should i do?
I have a textblock, that i want to change.

thanks

Actually my question now is how do i change a variable in a blueprint.
I have exposed the textblock as a variable.

public static void TestBlueprintComponentMethod(ObjectReference self)
{
string test = "Test";

        Object.GetText(self, "Text", test);
        //SceneComponent blueprintSceneComponent = self.ToComponent<SceneComponent>();
        //Debug.AddOnScreenMessage(-1, 30.0f, Color.Orange, "Cheers from managed function of the " + self.Name);
    }

I have looked around what to expose for the codegen, but some initial guideline will be fine.
Thank you.

API of UI is not exposed yet (see #38).

To get an idea of how to change blueprint properties see this test. Actors and components provide appropriate functions for that.

Modifications of codegen or framework internals by a user are not supported.

Thank you, but this test has scenecomponent and actors and i do not have such.
I have a widget with a text.
What should i do to expose the widgets or least one of them?
I am ready to dig deeper if needed.

Can you please share a screenshot or a C++ class of a widget that you are referring?

Can i change a widget text with an actor?

This use case is valid, but the framework itself lacks the appropriate API. I'll take a look at what I can expose for you.

[kingofthebongo2008]

Yes, thank you.
Here i have marked a small textblock that must take a value from C#

Yes, another problem is that the workflow with blueprints very limited at the moment (see #33), but for your use case, I can expose a few things for now.
