Functions

  Type Name Description
Public function Static const UContentBrowserAssetContextMenuContext *

FindContextWithAssets ( const MenuOrSectionType& MenuOrSection
)

 Finds the Content Browser MenuContext from a Menu or Section, and returns the context provided there are some selected assets.
Public function Static int32

GetNumAssetsSelected ( const MenuOrSectionType& MenuOrSection
)

  
Public function Const TArray< TSoftObjectPtr< ExpectedAssetType > >

GetSelectedAssetSoftObjects ( EIncludeSubclasses IncludeSubclasses
)

 Get the selected assets as an array of SoftObjectPtr's.
Public function Const TArray< FAssetData >

GetSelectedAssetsOfType ( const UClass* AssetClass,
EIncludeSubclasses IncludeSubclasses
)

 Returns a filtered array of assets that are of the desired class and potentially any subclasses.
Public function Const const TArray< FContentBrowserItem > & Read-only access to the list of currently selected items
Public function Const TArray< ExpectedAssetType * >  
Public function Const const FAssetData *

GetSingleSelectedAssetOfType ( const UClass* AssetClass,
EIncludeSubclasses IncludeSubclasses
)

 Sometimes you want to write actions that will only operate on a singular selected asset, in those cases you can use the following function which will only return a live ptr if it's an instance of that asset type, and only one thing is selected.
Public function Const ExpectedAssetType *

LoadFirstSelectedObject ( const TSet< FName >& LoadTags
)

 Loads the first selected valid asset and returns it.
Public function Const TArray< UObject * >

LoadSelectedObjects ( TSet< FName > LoadTags
)

 Loads all the selected assets and returns an array of the objects.
Public function Const TArray< ExpectedAssetType * >

LoadSelectedObjects ( TSet< FName > LoadTags
)

 Loads all the selected assets and returns an array of the ExpectedAssetType.
Public function Const TArray< ExpectedAssetType * >

LoadSelectedObjectsIf ( TFunctionRef< bool(const FAssetData&AssetData)> PredicateFilter
)

 Loads the selected assets if the PredicateFilter returns true, and returns an array of the objects.
Public function Const TArray< ExpectedAssetType * >

LoadSelectedObjectsIf ( TSet< FName > LoadTags,
TFunctionRef< bool(const FAssetData&AssetData)> PredicateFilter
)

 Loads the selected assets if the PredicateFilter returns true, and returns an array of the objects.
Public function Const TArray< UObject * > Loads the selected assets (if needed) which is based on AssetViewUtils::LoadAssetsIfNeeded, this exists primarily for backwards compatability.
Public function Static ExpectedType *

LoadSingleSelectedAsset ( const MenuOrSectionType& MenuOrSection
)

  

Deprecated Variables

  Type Name Description
Public variable TWeakPtr< IAssetTypeActions > CommonAssetTypeActions IAssetTypeActions (CommonAssetTypeActions) is being phased out too much menu related stuff was built into their design that forced loading assets. Please use UAssetDefinition (CommonAssetDefinition).
Public variable TArray< TWeakObjectPtr< UObject > > SelectedObjects Use SelectedAssets now, this field will not contain any objects. You should call LoadSelectedObjects() based on what you need.

Deprecated Functions

  Type Name Description
Public function Const TArray< UObject * > GetSelectedObjects has been deprecated. We no longer automatically load assets on right click. Please use SelectedAssets and determine whatever you need for your context menu options without actually loading the assets. When you finally need all or a subset of the selected assets use LoadSelectedAssets or LoadSelectedAssetsIf
