Using SWindow for game UI

Hi, i am trying to add an SWindow on the screen for an inventory UI.

First is it a good thing to use SWindow for a game ?

Right now i got the window to show up but either in complete fullscreen or with my content in the middle wihout any title bar.
Also when the window is in fullscreen and i click the “cross” to close it crash the editor. In any of those situation the window is not draggable.

i use this inside my widget :

    SWindow::Construct(SWindow::FArguments() 		
.Title(LOCTEXT("Title", "Inventory")) 		
.SupportsMinimize(false) 		
.SupportsMaximize(false) 		
.SizingRule( ESizingRule::Autosized 		
.AutoCenter(EAutoCenter::None) 		
.IsInitiallyMaximized(false) 		
.bDragAnywhere(true)  		
 [
    				//my content 		
 ]);

and this to put it on screen :

GEngine->GameViewport->AddViewportWidgetContent( /*reference to widget content*/ SNew(SWeakWidget).PossiblyNullContent(InventoryUIWidget.ToSharedRef()));

So i would like to just have a window apparing iwith the size of my content and be able to drag it around, should i use something else ?
I have a hard time finding any simple example on how to use windows, thanks for your help !

For the moment i will use the solution found here :

It doesnt answer how to use a swindow within a game but it will work fine for my needs i think

Apparently it’s not possible with SWindow and it’s not the way to go:
