Hiding a widget [message #10647]

Greetings,

I was experimenting with the MAP keyword in widget programming and it
did not do quite
what I wanted. Perhaps someone can tell me if there is a better way. I
create a widget heirarchy,
then in response to a menu event I "hide" one of the widgets by using
WIDGET_CONTROL,widgetID,MAP=0
and the widget gratifyingly disappears. Unfortunately, I expected my
dynamically sized base widget,
which holds the hidden widget, to now shrink but instead there is just a
big gaping hole where the
hidden widget is. In other words, the sizing of the base widget still
takes into account the hidden
widget.

What I want, I guess, is to remove the widget entirely from the
heirarchy, but I cannot find information
on how to do that. Does anyone have a simple technique short of
rebuilding the entire heirarchy from
scratch?

Thanks,
Dale Gary
