SimplePanel setWidget

[BlessedGeek]

In vanilla GWT, there is SimplePanel class.

It has a very useful feature - setWidget().
Using setWidget I could dynamically change the widget of a panel.
By having user click items on the menubar, it would switch the user to a particular "page" of the app without refreshing the page.

However, SmartGWT has no setWidget feature.
I could addMember, but then I can never assure that there is only widget, without going thro the remove procedures - and sometimes the remove just won't work.

I have trouble emulating setWidget in Layout class.

1. There is addMember(Widget) but no removeMember(Widget). How do I remove a widget? Why not provide a removeMember(Widget)?

2. What is the difference between addMember and addChild?

3. Is there an equiv of setWidget in Layout? If no, what would you advice that I use in place of SimplePanel to do the page switching that I need to perform?

Umm well I don't think you've gone through the documentation very carefully. There is addMember() and removeMember() and everything in between. Depending on your app usually show(), hide() is a better option then trying to add and remove based on every user action.
