RE: [Java-gnome-developer] Use of destroy()

[Jeffrey M. <Jef...@Br...>]

I think destroy is a very valid method that can have many
uses.  In java-gnome it is just a direct call to the gtk
libraries gtk_widget_destroy.  This native method destroys
the native widget, breaks any references it holds, and
removes in from its' parent container (if it has a parent
container).  

Calling destroy on a Dialog is a common task and we do it
often in our examples.  In our TestGTK example, all of the
dialogs are closed with calls to destroy.
