Detail customization examples

Refresh customization on hot reload:

C++

FPropertyEditorModule::NotifyCustomizationModuleChanged()

Getting default widget:

C++

IDetailPropertyRow::GetDefaultWidgets()

Custom Array Properties

• Simple example

C++

IDetailCategoryBuilder& NodeCategory = DetailBuilder.EditCategory("Node");
TSharedRef<FDetailArrayBuilder> NodeArrayBuilder = MakeShareable(new FDetailArrayBuilder(NodesPropertyHandle.ToSharedRef()));
NodeArrayBuilder->OnGenerateArrayElementWidget(FOnGenerateArrayElementWidget::CreateSP(this, &FRigDetails::GenerateNodeArrayElementWidget, &DetailBuilder));

NodeCategory.AddCustomBuilder( NodeArrayBuilder, false );

• Complex example is FNiagaraDetailSourcedArrayBuilder

Working with IPropertyHandle & DetailChildrenBuilder

• Getting a child IPropertyHandle

C++

TSharedPtr<IPropertyHandle> VariantTypePropHndle = StructPropertyHandle->GetChildHandle(GET_MEMBER_NAME_CHECKED(TInSumType, VariantType));

• Adding said property

C++

ChildBuilder.AddProperty(VariantTypePropHndle.ToSharedRef());

• Adding property with SProperty Widget

C++

SNew( SProperty, DetailBuilder.GetProperty(GET_MEMBER_NAME_CHECKED(ABBStadiumRig, bDbgShowRootVis)))

• Getting Detail View from IDetailChildrenBuilder

C++

TSharedRef<const SWidget> DetailsView = ChildBuilder.GetParentCategory().GetParentLayout().GetDetailsView()->AsShared();

DetailRow

C++

FNiagaraEmitterDetails::OnGenerateEventReceiverEntry(TSharedRef<IPropertyHandle> ElementProperty, int32 ElementIndex, IDetailChildrenBuilder& ChildrenBuilder)
{
  TSharedPtr<IPropertyHandle> NameProperty = ElementProperty->GetChildHandle(GET_MEMBER_NAME_CHECKED(FNiagaraEventReceiverProperties, Name));
  FName DisplayName;
  NameProperty->GetValue(DisplayName);
  //         ChildrenBuilder.AddChildProperty(ElementProperty).DisplayName(FText::FromName(DisplayName));
  IDetailGroup& Group = ChildrenBuilder.AddGroup(DisplayName, FText::FromName(DisplayName));
  uint32 NumChildren = 0;
  if (ElementProperty->GetNumChildren(NumChildren) == FPropertyAccess::Success)
  {
    for (uint32 i = 0; i < NumChildren; ++i)
    {
      TSharedPtr<IPropertyHandle> Child = ElementProperty->GetChildHandle(i);
      //Dont add the ID. We just grab it's name for the name region of this property.
      if (Child.IsValid() && Child->GetProperty()->GetName() != GET_MEMBER_NAME_CHECKED(FNiagaraEventReceiverProperties, Name).ToString())
      {
        TSharedPtr<SWidget> NameWidget;
        TSharedPtr<SWidget> ValueWidget;
        FDetailWidgetRow DefaultDetailRow;
        IDetailPropertyRow& Row = Group.AddPropertyRow(Child.ToSharedRef());
        Row.GetDefaultWidgets(NameWidget, ValueWidget, DefaultDetailRow);
        Row.CustomWidget(true)
          .NameContent()
          [
            NameWidget.ToSharedRef()
          ]
          .ValueContent()
          [
            ValueWidget.ToSharedRef()
          ];
      }
    }
  }
}
