Overridden from UWidget

	Name	Description
TSharedPtr< ...	GetAccessibleWidget()	Gets the widget that accessibility properties should synchronize to.
FString	GetLabelMetadata()	Get Label Metadata, which may be as simple as a bit of string data to help identify an anonymous text block.
const FText	GetPaletteCategory()	Gets the palette category of the widget
void	OnBindingChanged ( const FName& Property )
void	OnCreationFromPalette()	Called by the palette after constructing a new widget, allows the widget to perform interesting default setup that we don't want to be UObject Defaults.
TSharedRef< ...	RebuildWidget()	Function implemented by all subclasses of UWidget is called when the underlying SWidget needs to be constructed.
void	SynchronizeProperties()	Applies all properties to the native widget if possible.
