Add a new method for Box to clear the children. #352

Open p1gd0g opened 5 years ago

p1gd0g commented 5 years ago

It seems there is no way to get the size of a Box, thus it is hard to clear children out of the definition.

Then I add the new method using Delete, please check if it is worth.

Thank you.

What are you trying to accomplish with this? Keep in mind that when you delete something from the Box, the child control sticks around.

@andlabs Thank you for the reply.

Yes, the child sticks so I want to clear all and then reconstruct the Box.

What I am trying to accomplish is a "table", however you know there is a bug on GTK+

https://github.com/andlabs/ui/blob/add47bf25ef41c409d193b2104b368d4de0b3684/examples/table.go#L7

I have tried other Control, grid, form, which works not well. Thus I create the new method to quickly reconstruct a "table" using Box.

Please imform me if you have some advise.

Thank you. 😊

Came here to request the same feature. Loading dynamic lists from HTTP/JSON and using a VerticalBox for each item. Options I see right now when loading new data (AFAIK)...
