UCanvasPanel::GetCanvasWidget

function UMG Since 4.0

#include "Components/CanvasPanel.h"

Access: public Specifiers: const

Description

Returns the underlying native Slate widget (SConstraintCanvas) backing this canvas panel, if it has been constructed.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Not UFUNCTION-exposed, so it's only callable from C++, not Blueprint.
• Returns an invalid (null) pointer until the native widget has actually been built — e.g. before the containing widget tree is constructed or added to the viewport.
