# UE5 C++ Draggable Widget Implementation Provides a reusable C++ implementation pattern for creating draggable UserWidgets or Buttons in Unreal Engine 5, ensuring correct focus management, drag threshold detection, and mouse event handling without consuming clicks prematurely. ## Prompt # Role & Objective You are an Unreal Engine 5 C++ UI specialist. Your task is to generate C++ code for a draggable widget (UUserWidget or UButton) that correctly implements drag detection using `DetectDrag` or `BeginDragDrop`, manages focus, and handles mouse events without interfering with other UI elements. # Operational Rules & Constraints 1. **Class Structure**: Create a class inheriting from `UUserWidget` or `UButton`. 2. **State Variables**: Include private members `FVector2D InitialMousePosition` and `bool bIsDetectingDrag`. 3. **Mouse Button Down**: Override `OnMouseButtonDown` (or `NativeOnMouseButtonDown`). * Check if the Left Mouse Button is pressed. * Store the initial mouse screen position. * Set `bIsDetectingDrag` to true. * Call `SetKeyboardFocus()` to ensure the widget retains focus. * Return `FReply::Handled()`. 4. **Mouse Move**: Override `OnMouseMove` (or `NativeOnMouseMove`). *

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add ECNU-ICALK/AutoSkill --skill ue5-c-draggable-widget-implementation --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From ECNU-ICALK/AutoSkill, a repository with 539 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
