Destroy or Remove

[Former Member]

What is the difference between Destroy and remove:

IWDTransparentContainer container =(IWDTransparentContainer) view.getElement("RootUIElementContainer");

container.destroyAllChildren();

...

container.removeAllChildren();

Thank you

"Destroy" completely kills UI control and clean-up it internal state. After destroy UI controls are unusable and subject of GC.

"Remove" simply take component off from its parent. You may add control afterwads to another parent (event the same one -- think about swaping controls sequence).

"remove" removes the elements from the Container, but Destroy deletes the instance of the elements.

After removing, u can even add the same elements without creating a new one.But after destroying, this is impossible.
