Name
qdelete — delete object
Syntax
qdelete [widget]
qdelete [treeitem]
qdelete [tableitem]
Description
The qdelete deletes an widget or item from memory. Any children the widget may have are also deleted. If the object is drawn on the screen it will be erased.
To make a widget invisible without deleting it use the qclose command. Many applications do not need qdelete, but rely on qshow, qclose, and qraise to manage visibility/invisibility issues.
Arguments
widget
The widget to be deleted. If this argument is omitted the current widget will be used.
treeitem
An item in a qtreewidget. If this argument is omitted the current treeitem will be used.
tableitem
An item in a qtablewidget. If this argument is omitted the current tableitem will be used.
Examples
Ex.1: Delete
set w1 [qwidget ]
qsetwindowtitle "Window 1"
set w2 [qwidget]
qsetwindowtitle "Window 2"
set layout [qvboxlayout $w1]
set button [qpushbutton "Delete W2" { qdelete $w2 } ]
qaddwidget $layout $button
qshow $w1
qshow $w2
The above script creates two windows - pressing the button will delete the windows titled "Window 2".
