TreeView Free Behaviour
BlitzMax Forums/MaxGUI Module/TreeView Free Behaviour

| Just interested in the general consensus as to what should happen when you want to FreeGadget() a TreeView. Should you : a) be freeing all the nodes by hand first? or b) have the TreeView free all its child nodes by itself? :o) |
| ||
| I think the IDE assumes a, and possibly in some manner relies on this behaviour. (Never really got my head round that area of code in the IDE, it's a beast). But I'd expect b. Same as FreeGadget on a window frees all it's children. (In fact, presumably that's a memory leak waiting to happen right there...) |
| ||
| I'd say (B), freeing any other parent, should free its children too! |
| ||
| I would wish for B too, but that's not what it currently does, unfortunately. I just wonder if any apps would break if it suddenly was able to? (I would guess not likely, since as it stands you need to remove the kids first by hand anyway). |

| My vote is for B. I can't see how it would break anything. - David |
