[Paraview] Re: [KWWidgets] How do I make a widget disappear?

[Peter F Bradshaw]

Hi;

Coincidentally we were discussing this issue on this list (KWWidgets)
on about Apr / 20 / 2006. Unfortunately April has not been archived on
the KWWidgets site.

You need to execute a Tcl 'pack forget' on the widget. For some sample
code see:

http://multibeam.cvs.sourceforge.net/*checkout*/multibeam/src/Gui/Plan/Aquisition/ssMultibeamLWWindow.C

Look at ssMultibeamLWWindow::UnputOptionsDisplay() which is near the
bottom.

BTW the 'pack forget' will cause the widget to immediately disappear
from the GUI. There is no need to Delete() the underlying widget. So it
is possible to maintain the widget's current state. You can redisplay
the widget with a Tcl 'pack' at a later time with its current state
intact.
