php-gtk -> hide() command??

[Anon]

hi there,

i made a little php-gtk script, where u can enter text in one window and then the text u just wrote, appears in a new window.
...but, in order to "close" the new window again, i use the hide() command.
But, imagine u have a hell lot of windows and u often open and close new ones,
does the hide() command then mean, that those windows still exist in the memory, but simply dont appear on screen?
or does the hide() command also delte the window from memory?

thx,

so long,

Nope,

$widget->hide() merely does what the name suggests.... hides the widget from view but doesn't destroy it. Suprisingly enough, $widget->destroy() is your puppy here🙂 Use the following method as a secondary window destroy event handler:

  function closeWindow($widget) {

    $window = $widget->get_toplevel();
    $window->destroy();
    unset($window);
  }

Remember not to use this on the program's main window as it will kill the window but leave the process running in the background.
