Syntax

bool ShouldSerializeProperty
(
const FArchiveSerializedPropertyChain * ContainerChain,
const FProperty * LeafProperty
) const

Remarks

Checks whether the given property should be serialized. It should be serialized if:

IsPropertySelected() returns true on the property
The property is inside of a collection for which IsPropertySelected() returns true
The property is not part of a struct for which IsPropertySelected() returns true; this happens when a struct implements a custom serializer and pushes other structs.

As performance optimisation, we assume this function is called by FArchive::ShouldSkipProperty, i.e. ShouldSerializeProperty would return true on the elements of ContainerChain.

Parameters

Parameter	Description
ContainerChain	The chain of properties to the most nested owning struct: See FArchive::GetSerializedPropertyChain.
LeafProperty	The leaf property in the struct
