Canvas.onDestroy () not called?

[shortpasta]

When I call canvas.addChild (child), child.onInit () is called.
When I call canvas.removeChild (child), child.onDestroy () is NOT called.

Questions:
1. Is this a bug?
2. If this is not a bug, how should I detect that a Canvas is being destroyed?

1. the SmartGWT or SmartClient version and browser version(s) involved;
SmartGWT 2.5
GWT 2.3.0
FireFox 6.0.2
Chrome 15.0.874.120 m

3. for a client-side problem, the contents of the Developer Console (see FAQ for usage);

5. sample code.

import com.smartgwt.client.widgets.IButton;
import com.smartgwt.client.widgets.Canvas;
import com.smartgwt.client.widgets.layout.VLayout;
import com.smartgwt.client.widgets.events.ClickHandler;
import com.smartgwt.client.widgets.events.ClickEvent;

import com.google.gwt.core.client.EntryPoint;
import com.google.gwt.core.client.GWT;

public class TestRemoveChild implements EntryPoint {

  public void onModuleLoad () {

    // layout upon which to place a Canvas
    final VLayout canvasLayout = new VLayout ();
    canvasLayout.setWidth (600);
    canvasLayout.setHeight (400);
    canvasLayout.setBackgroundColor ("red");

    // create Canvas with opacity
    final Canvas canvas = new Canvas () {
      @Override
      protected void onInit () {
        GWT.log ("Canvas.onInit ()");
        super.onInit ();
      }
      
      @Override
      protected void onDestroy () {
        GWT.log ("Canvas.onDestroy ()");
        super.onDestroy ();
      }
    };
    canvas.setBackgroundColor ("blue");
    canvas.setLeft (10);
    canvas.setTop (10);
    canvas.setWidth (50);
    canvas.setHeight (50);

    // add a button that shows a dialog with a canvas with opaticy set
    final IButton addChildButton = new IButton ();
    addChildButton.setTitle ("Add Child");
    addChildButton.addClickHandler (new ClickHandler () {
      public void onClick (final ClickEvent clickEvent) {
        GWT.log ("Adding child");
        canvasLayout.addChild (canvas);
      }
    });

    // add a button that shows a dialog with a canvas with no opaticy set
    final IButton removeChildButton = new IButton ();
    removeChildButton.setTitle ("Remove Child");
    removeChildButton.addClickHandler (new ClickHandler () {
      public void onClick (final ClickEvent clickEvent) {
        GWT.log ("Removing child");
        canvasLayout.removeChild (canvas);
      }
    });

    // add
    final VLayout mainLayout = new VLayout ();
    mainLayout.addMember (addChildButton);
    mainLayout.addMember (removeChildButton);
    mainLayout.addMember (canvasLayout);
    mainLayout.draw ();
  }
}

Not a bug, removing a child does not destroy it, destroy() does.

So when I want to get rid of a Canvas, is this what I need to do?
1. Call parent.removeChild (canvas), and
2. Call canvas.destroy ()

And if I wanted to reuse it, I could do this?
1. Call parent.removeChild (canvas), and
2. Call parent2.addChild (canvas)

[Isomorphic]

Yes, except as far as getting rid of a Canvas, there is no need to removeChild() before destroy() - destroy() will cause automatic removal.

Cool, thanks!
