前言

使用slate制作界面的时候往往需要使用到笔刷, 本文简单介绍如何使用自定义的笔刷以及使用系统的笔刷

自定义笔刷

纯C++

参考引擎其他地方用到的获取笔刷的方式

主要思路是创建一个指针TSharedPtr< class FSlateStyleSet > StyleSet然后通过方法FSlateStyleRegistry::RegisterSlateStyle(*StyleSet.Get())注册笔刷

国际惯例(照着引擎代码), 定义几个宏

#define IMAGE_BRUSH(RelativePath, ... ) FSlateImageBrush( FVSM_Style::InResources( RelativePath, ".png" ), __VA_ARGS__ )
#define BOX_BRUSH(RelativePath, ... ) FSlateBoxBrush( FVSM_Style::InResources( RelativePath, ".png" ), __VA_ARGS__ )

先初始化

StyleSet = MakeShareable(new FSlateStyleSet(GetStyleSetName()));
	StyleSet->SetContentRoot(IPluginManager::Get().FindPlugin(TEXT("VSM"))->GetContentDir());

然后从具体目录获取图片

StyleSet->Set("VSM.StateMachineSmall", new IMAGE_BRUSH("Icons/StateMachine-ToolbarStateMachine-20", Icon20x20));	
StyleSet->Set("VSM.NodeBody", new BOX_BRUSH(TEXT("Graph/NodeBody"), FMargin(4.f / 64.f, 4.f / 64.f, 4.f / 64.f, 4.f / 64.f)));

第一个字符串就是获取笔刷的名称

获取方式

SNew(SBorder)			.BorderImage(FVSM_Style::GetBrush(TEXT("FrameworkGraph.NodeBody")))

自定义资源缩略图

缩略图的自定义困扰了我很久, 第一时间想到的就是Factory类里面的虚函数GetNewAssetThumbnailOverride(), 重写以后返回一个之前注册过的笔刷名称,比如上面的 "VSM.StateMachineSmall"

那么在右键菜单准备创建的时候确实是正确的图标, 但是创建资源以后就是默认UObject的原型图案了, 这个问题也查不到资料, 我甚至把蓝图资源创建的流程代码整个翻了个遍, 还是得不到有效信息

最后意外的发现, 原来问题出在了注册笔刷的地方

比如我们这个资源的蓝图类叫做VSM_Blueprint(去掉了前缀U), 那么于此对应的缩略图和Icon就这样注册

	StyleSet->Set("ClassIcon.VSM_Blueprint", new IMAGE_BRUSH(TEXT("Icons/StateMachine"), Icon16x16));
	StyleSet->Set("ClassThumbnail.VSM_Blueprint", new IMAGE_BRUSH(TEXT("Icons/StateMachine"), Icon128x128));

同时, 我们也不需要重写Factory类里面的相关缩略图方法了;

还要注意一个问题, 蓝图类与它的ParentClass类都需要注册笔刷

WidgetSlateStyle

此方式方便在蓝图里配置笔刷，不用编译即可修改slate样式

我们创建此类的c++类

struct VSMEDITOR_API FVSM_SlateStyle : public FSlateWidgetStyle
{
    //.................
  	//输入框的样式
    UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, Category = Appearance)
		FInlineEditableTextBlockStyle EditTextBlockStyle;
}

其余均保持默认即可

为了区别c++的style，我们在FVSM_Style中的变量命名成 static TSharedPtr BlueprintStyleSet;

void FVSM_Style::Initialize()
{
    if (!BlueprintStyleSet)
	{

		FString styleDir = TEXT("/VSM/Style/");
		BlueprintStyleSet = FSlateGameResources::New(FVSM_Style::GetBPStyleSetName(),*styleDir, *styleDir);
		if (BlueprintStyleSet)
		{
			FSlateStyleRegistry::RegisterSlateStyle(*BlueprintStyleSet);
		}
	}
}

这里需要注意的是, 这里指定的目录是相对目录, 一开始我指定了绝对目录以后一路排查发现在EngineUtils::FindOrLoadAssetsByPath()函数里找不到对应的文件

然后在的slate里面使用

//.h
const  FVSM_SlateStyle* Style;

//.cpp
//VSMStyle对应的是蓝图的名称,如果错误可能会导致崩溃问题
Style = &FVSM_Style::GetBPStyle().`GetWidgetStyle<FVSM_SlateStyle>`("VSMStyle");


//.................
SAssignNew(InlineEditableText, SInlineEditableTextBlock)
								.Style(&Style->EditTextBlockStyle)

然后创建蓝图style

效果

每次修改以后需要重新打开对应的slate资源才能刷新

编译以后如果蓝图的style还没有创建, 那么创建以后如果提示找不到笔刷, 则需要再重新启动一次编辑器

系统笔刷

系统的笔刷文件多数在 *\Engine\Content\Editor\Slate中

通过文件SlateEditorStyle.cpp中定义和获取

如

FEditorStyle::GetBrush(TEXT("Graph.StateNode.Pin.Background"));

当然引擎还有很多其他类也定义了自己的笔刷, 如VREditorStyle.cpp, GameMenuBuilderStyle.cpp,具体笔刷名称是啥就直接去看cpp
