[wxperl-users] removing/adding controls from/to a sizer

[Marco T. <wx...@so...>]

hello again,

i have a sizer which haves to change the number of it's children during the
runtime of the program...
my code:

# haves to exist:
$this->{text} = Wx::StaticText->new($this, -1, 'example');
# problem: at startup it is nowhere added...
# so it hangs around at the top of the window

# after a specific action:
$this->{sizer}->Add($this->{text}, 0);
$this->{sizer}->Layout;
# ok, great... $this->{text} doesn't any longer hang homeless around
# and everything's like it's supposed...

# after another specific action:
$this->{sizer}->Remove($x);
$this->{sizer}->Layout;
# layout is ok again... but $this->{text} is homeless again
# and is placed somewhere it shouldn't be...

so, my question:
how can i prevent $this->{text} to be on the screen while it has no official
place on the gui?
it has to exist...

any help would be appreciated

greetings
marco
