Creating a UWindow ingame

[RestInPieces]

Say I've got a function in my Hud class (yes, in my Hud class), which shall open up a UWindow. How can i create this window? All the UWinows tutorials i found assume that i want to open up my window from a menu and they use commands like MenuItem.Owner.Root.CreateWindow(class'MyWindow',10,10,10,10);
What is Root? And what command do I have to use if I want to open a window ingame, like the orders menu?

Root is the parent of the console, which holds all the UWindows (I think - someone else can clarify)

The orders menu is the SpeechWindow class and it's friends. You have to hijack/subclass it out from the playerpawn to customize it. Doing searches for speechwindow in the usual places will offer up some code.

I found it relatively complicated for the buy menu system I was using, so I implemented something directly into the HUD. It's still a work in progress, so I can't really say how successful it is yet.
