UCanvasPanel::AddChildToCanvas
#include "Components/CanvasPanel.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: UFUNCTIONBlueprintCallable
Description
Adds a widget as a new child of the canvas panel and returns its slot so you can set its position, size, and anchors.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • If Content already belongs to another panel, it is automatically removed from its previous parent — no need to call RemoveFromParent yourself first.
- • Returns nullptr if Content is null; it does not assert or crash on a bad argument.
