Description

A clickable container widget that holds a single child widget. Exposes OnClicked, OnPressed, OnReleased, and OnHovered delegates for user interaction.

Signature

class UButton : public UContentWidget

Caveats & Gotchas

• UButton is a ContentWidget — it holds exactly one child. Place other widgets (e.g. UTextBlock, UImage) inside it to create styled buttons.
• Direct property access for WidgetStyle, ColorAndOpacity, and BackgroundColor was deprecated in UE 5.2. Use the getter/setter functions.
• Keyboard/gamepad focus navigation is enabled by default (IsFocusable). Set to false for mouse-only buttons in menus that don't need controller support.

Example

Bind a click event in C++ C++

// In NativeConstruct:
MyButton->OnClicked.AddDynamic(this, &UMyWidget::OnMyButtonClicked);

// Handler:
void UMyWidget::OnMyButtonClicked()
{
    // handle click
}
