Re: Gtk::Widget::destory() ?

Maik,

Given what you've described, why not just call 'delete' on your C++ widget pointer?  This will cause the underlying
C instance to get destroyed, as well, which, in turn, will cause the widget to be dropped from the parent container.

Hello Nickolai

I want to show the progress of downloads (running as threads). If a new
download starts, a new instance of ProgressBar is allocated on heap and
added to the VBox. When a download finishes, the related ProgressBar
should be removed from the VBox and since there is no need for it any
longer also destroyed. At the moment I using gtk_widget_detroy:

    gtk_widget_destroy((GtkWidget*)pPgb->gobj());

Which way is the default one?

Thanks in advance
Maik
