Can't render custom UserControl in Unreal engine
Posted: 07 Jan 2024, 02:50
Hi, I'm fairly new to using Noesis so I might be missing something obvious but I've gone over the samples and getting started guides and haven't been able to find what I'm doing wrong.
If I create a simple user control:
I am able to render it in Unreal engine directly by adding it to viewport in my blueprint like so:

However, if I try to nest in inside of another Xaml file:
Then "Test" will render but not the SimpleUserControl. I also receive a warning in Unreal engine:
Are there other steps to get a custom user control to render in Unreal engine? For reference, I'm using UE 5.1 and Noesis 3.2.1.
Thanks in advance.
If I create a simple user control:
Code: Select all
using System.Windows.Controls;
namespace Ghana_Blend
{
public partial class SimpleUserControl : UserControl
{
public SimpleUserControl()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
}
}
Code: Select all
<UserControl x:Class="Ghana_Blend.SimpleUserControl"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"

xmlns:local="clr-namespace:Ghana_Blend"
mc:Ignorable="d">
<Grid>
<Rectangle Width="100" Height="100" Fill="#FFBD2FB1"></Rectangle>
</Grid>
</UserControl>

However, if I try to nest in inside of another Xaml file:
Code: Select all
<Page x:Class="Ghana_Blend.GameOverlay"

<TextBlock Text="Test" Foreground="White"/>
<local:SimpleUserControl></local:SimpleUserControl>
</Grid>
</Page>Code: Select all
