Unreal Engine 4 Scripting with C++ Cookbook

Controlling widget appearance with Styles

So far in this chapter, we've been creating UI elements that use the default visual representation. This recipe shows you how to create a Style in C++ that can be used as a common look-and-feel across your whole project.

How to do it...

1. Create a new class header in your project. Name the file "CookbookStyle.h".
2. Add the following code to the file:

   #pragma once
   #include "SlateBasics.h"
   #include "SlateExtras.h"
   classFCookbookStyle
   {
     public:
     static void Initialize();
     static void Shutdown();
     static void ReloadTextures();
     staticconstISlateStyle& Get();
     staticFNameGetStyleSetName();
     private:
     staticTSharedRef<class FSlateStyleSet> Create();
     private:
     staticTSharedPtr<class FSlateStyleSet>CookbookStyleInstance;
   };
