Hello,

can you tell me quickly what is the difference between Gtk delete / destroy, and how these mechanisms are embedded in the D bindings (particularly : what is the relation between a widget being destroyed and it's D object being deleted ?).
What is the proper way to handle deletion of Gtk-widgets-as-D-objects ? ie. I write a class

MyOwnWidget : Widget
{
...
}

suppose I have to free some resources when the widget is no longer in use, should I free those resources in the onDestroy / onDelete delegate ? Or in the ~this delegate ? What will happen if I put my widget in a HPaned widget, and I delete/destroy the GTK HPaned widget ? Or if I delete the HPaned D object ?


thanks !

I tried adding
addOnDestroy( &onDestroy );

protected int
onDestroy( ... )
{
...
}

to some widgets,
and then calling

myWidget.destroy();

but it looks like the destroy method is not called,

is there something I'm not doing, when defining
the callback?

The following should work in svn r516:

It works with r518,
but why is it working with ObjectGtk.onDestroy and not Widget.onDestroy ?

From the gtk docs for GtkWidget:

Okay thanks,
I read that, but since many GTK+ tuts on the
internet show widgets and connect their destroy_event signal to
a callback, I was wondering why this wouldn't be called most of the time... maybe it's just for "window"-like widgets ?

Anyway, ObjectGtk.onDestroy works perfectly,
thanks
