I want to change the size X of my 'Horizontal Box' widget's through blueprints but cannot figure out how to do that... the properties that I want to be able to control from blueprints are marked red below:

enter image description here

To give you some context, I need this to instantiate my widget dynamically. I first add a bunch of child widgets which works just great, but I also need to kinda resize the quad in the background to fit in size the child widgets that I am 'spawning'. Isn't there really any way to do this? Because this seems a super-basic thing to do as from my point of view but can't find it anywhere...

To change the X and Y values, you need to click the "Size To Content" box under them which will do this for you.

There is a function called "Set ZOrder" as well. Get a reference to Self, get the Slot As Canvas Slot then call it.

Unreal Engine UE4 Set ZOrder
