Hi, I have a class A inherited from SCompoundWidget.  
In my class A, **I want to check end of the game.(playing).**  
So when the game is shutdown, I can destroy the UI windows that I create in class A.

I tried to use Shutdown() ([UGameInstance::Shutdown | Unreal Engine Documentation](https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/API/Runtime/Engine/Engine/UGameInstance/Shutdown/index.html)) but when I build, cannot override shutdown function.

Thanks for your time!

Not sure, but you can try to use virtual Destructor of SWidget (SCompoundWidget is not overriding it)

```
virtual ~SWidget();
```
