Child panels seem to hang around on recompile

[d.healey]

Here's one solution/workaround, call this in on init.

inline function removeAllChildren(panel)
{
    local children = panel.getChildPanelList();

    if (children.length > 0)
	for (x in children) x.removeFromParent();
}

@ulrik I remember there were problems with childs when I made animation program, I'll take a look to see what I did to solve it

@d-healey Yeah I got that from the beginning and it hasn't been fixed yet. I call them ghost panels because they appear when and where they want

The workaround I am using is that I always empty a parent panel from its children and rebuild them.

for (c in Panel1.getChildPanelList())
	c.removeFromParent();
	
// Rebuild here

@d-healey Yeah that's it... But I always call it first in my factory function, so it's done each time you modify the children content.

@ustk said in Child panels seem to hang around on recompile:

so it's done each time you modify the children content.

Explain please... :)

[d.healey]

Aha I understand what you're doing now, thanks!

[ustk]

@d-healey Note that the list isn't the children list! Just any object you want to create children from...
I don't reference first-level children, because, in the end, you don't need it. At least I haven't seen a reason yet. And even if in the doc Christoph made an external list for children, he told me not so long ago it's bad to reference externally... So I came up with this solution.

[d.healey]

@Christoph-Hart Revisiting child panels today, this bug is still there.

[ustk]

@d-healey Confirmed, got this bug since child panels have been implemented...
It happens every now and then both in Hise and binary

[d.healey]

@ustk I also notice if you put a Console.print in the child panel's paint routine you can't get rid of it unless you reopen the project :p

[ustk]

@d-healey Wait, what? :zany_face:

[ustk]

@d-healey But it's no use anyway in a binary since all console related functions are ignored...

[d.healey]

@ustk Yeah but it's really annoying when you're figuring out your paint routines and test messages you've been using keep popping up in the console every time you hit compile.

[ustk]

@d-healey Oh I understand now, forget my message above :)
