UUxtUIElementComponent

Controls visibility of a UI element in the scene.

Parent-child relationships are managed via actor attachments. If the parent is hidden, all of its children will be hidden. It is recommended to have the UxtUIElementComponent as the root component as the actor as this allows it to automatically update if the actor is attached to a new parent actor. If it is not the root component, RefreshUIElement() will need to be called manually after attaching a new parent actor.

Note: Manually changing actor visibility will not affect child UI elements and may lead to unwanted behavior.
