How to prevent UMG TExt widget from blocking mouse input?

Is it possible to prevent UMG widget from blocking mouse input?
I have a Text widget displaying overlat information, but it prevents widgets underneath it from receiving mouse input. Is it possible to disable this? Disabling widget does not produce any results.

I’d like to revive this question. I’m in a similar situation with other UMG elements, e.g.:

  • Having a slider show a fill bar (much like a progress bar, but with slider interactivity)
  • Show ticks along a slider bar w/o breaking input

Hopefully someone from Epic is already thinking about something like this.

Try setting control’s visibility to HitTest Invisible. That should do the trick.
