SmartGWT and global ID clarification

[krigu]

I have a DynamicForm with a global ID (form.setID('myForm')) which is a member of a VStack. However, if I call vStack.removeMember(form) the form disappears but the global ID is still available via JavaScript-Console and the form still seems to exist.

Is this the correct behaviour? Does the form get cached? Can/Should I manually destroy the form to free the ID?

Thanks

Yes, that's correct behavior. removeMember() does not permanently destroy the widget - you can add it to another Layout, for example. To permanently destroy a widget, call destroy().

Thanks for the quick answer.

If I have multiple nested components, does destroy() also destroy recursive the sub-members/components?

Please see the docs for BaseWidget.destroy().

Unfortunately, the widget with the assigend ID does not get destroyed. Are there any conditions that prevent a widget from getting destroyed?

Thanks for your help

No, there aren't. If you're having trouble, try posting code we can run to see the problem.
