I am wondering how to create drop-down menus in UMG?
All I need is a drop down menu, with a list of items, and just be able to know which the player has selected.
Just, a list of text items really.
I can’t find a way to get which item has been chosen in a combobox. But anyway, having to populate that list with actors from the content browser seems a little strange.
I’m going to have a large amount of these dropdown menus, so I don’t want to have to create separate objects in the content browser for all the possible answers…
There must be a way to do this, as a last resort I can use radio buttons, but it definitely is not ideal.
I’d also like to know about that (rollouts and/or scollboxes). I am wondering how to dynamically fill the menu list with whatever text entries are currently in an array.
We don’t support the combobox yet, the combobox is a difficult control to make both highly customizable and easy to use. For 4.5 we’re going to have a StringCombobox that limits the data you can bind to it to just string data and then go from there in future versions.
If you are trying to find out what was selected in the combo box you will need to use the “GetSelectedOption” node as shown in the picture below. Please note that you may need to turn off context sensitive when dragging off the pin in order to get it. I hope that this helps.
In the following example I use a button to print out what was selected in a combo box (string). (This is available in version 4.5.1)
