How To Create UMG UI in Unreal Engine - Common UI Widget Carousel

This is part of my unreal engine UMG UI series. From the last video I covered how to install and use the common UI plugin and created a simple pause menu, in this video we are going to build the knowledge from that and learn how to build a common ui carousel like the one from the Content Example project.
We have a simple carousel based on a tab menu and the content slides in when you click through the tabs.
We are going to learn how to
Create common carousel widget and nav bar
Build a common button and style
Let's go!

it was really helpful.
But what if i want to use just 2 buttons to navigate between all my images?
Like just a left and right button..?

This is a great tutorial! How would you go about changing the text on the navbar buttons per slide?

[@JustAnotherDangHowToChannel]

Thanks! Might have tried that quickly but I wasn't successful. Pretty sure it is possible, I just haven't figured it yet. Would give it another try soon.

[@edwardteach42]

@@JustAnotherDangHowToChannel I spent some time on it. It is possible with C++ but those features aren't fully exposed to BPs yet.

[@shoky240]

Thanks! I have just a question about that ... how can I open THIS widget not automaticaly but with a key like E for example?

[@JustAnotherDangHowToChannel]

@@edwardteach42 did you manage to get it work? would love to see the code.

[@JustAnotherDangHowToChannel]

@@shoky240 don't create the overlap on the object, instead create a keyboard event on the bp third person character then recreate the create/adding widget steps there.

[@AkitaMix]

Is there even a way to edit the text on that navbar that isn't fixed? I can't seem to set the text for each of them without changing all of them.

[@JustAnotherDangHowToChannel]

Not from blueprints unfortunately. One comment here says it can be done with c++ but I haven't given that a try.
