destroy and recreate window contents

Post by Jacek Poplawski »

I want to dynamically destroy/create window contents.

If I understand correctly wxWindow::DestroyChildren destroys all children, but not sizer.
So if I create new wxSizer and call wxWindow::SetSizer - what will happen with old sizer? Memory leak?

Is it a proper way to recreate window contents or is there better solution? Could you point me to any article on example?

The easiest way is probably to remove the wxPanel that contains all your widgets (you should have one) with ->Destroy(), and then create a new one. That should be straightforward
