Focus wraparound in VBoxContainer of Buttons

Question

I have a simple UI scene that consists of a VBoxContainer of a few Buttons. By default, I can use the bindings for "uiup" and "uidown" to navigate the menu. However, it doesn't seem like I can wrap around by default (i.e. when I'm at the bottom, if I hit "ui_down" it doesn't wrap around and change focus to the top).

Is this possible to configure somewhere in the inspector or something? Or will I have to do this in code by manually intercepting those UI events and checking if I'm at the top/bottom and changing focus accordingly?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Answer 1

Turns out you can use the Focus Neighbor Top/Neighbor Bottom properties to do this in the inspector by setting the top button's Neighbor Top to the bottom button and the bottom button's Neighbor Bottom to the top button.

Good to know you found your answer.

Answer 2

Have you looked into the wrapi() function? Track which button is currently selected via a counter. Use wrapi(counter + 1, 0, number_of_buttons), and have the selection return to the first button.

So then it's not possible to configure this in the inspector? I was hoping not to have to do this in code but if that's the case then wrapi() looks promising. Thanks!
