Like Ian said, if you delete a Window or Group, all children inside that group will automatically be deleted as well. If you are concerned about popping up dialogs all the time, you should consider building each dialog only once, and then calling "show ()" and "hide()" on them. That will keep memory usage constant and fragmentation minimal. If you pop up a lot of custom dialogs, simply deleting the top level widget will completely clear all dependen widgets as well. Finally, if you plan to exit your application, don't delete a thing. Just let the OS do the job. Ian mentioned that already, too. ---- http://robowerk.com/ _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
