UButton::SetClickMethod
#include "Components/Button.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: UFUNCTIONBlueprintCallable
Description
Sets which mouse interaction pattern triggers the button's OnClicked event.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • DownAndUp (the default) requires press-then-release over the button; MouseDown fires immediately on press without capturing the mouse; PreciseClick requires an exact press-and-release on the same widget, which matters inside scrollable lists.
- • Changing this affects mouse input only — see SetTouchMethod and SetPressMethod for touch and keyboard/gamepad equivalents.
