I am doing something like this:
void addTab() {
WithTabLay<ParentCtrl> *tabLay = new WithTabLay<ParentCtrl>();
CtrlLayout(*tabLay);
tabLay->HSizePosZ(0, 0).VSizePosZ(0, 0);
tabs.Add(*tabLay, MyImgs::add20(), "Tab1");
tabLay->closeBut.WhenPush = [=] {
tabs.Remove(*tabLay);
tabLay->~WithTabLay();
delete tabLay;
};
}
As you can guess,
WithTabLay is the tab layout created in the UI editor.
closeBut is a button within the tab that I want to use to remove the tab.
Question-1: Is it necessary to call the destructor after removing the tab?
tabLay->~WithTabLay();
Question-2: Is it necessary to delete the allocated memory? This line causes the applicatton to crash. So probably I should not, if so, how can I free the allocated memory?
delete tabLay;
Questions-3: Is there any better way to do this without using pointers? If I create the Tab on stack, its free'ed at the end of the function (from RAII I suppose). And the Tab will not be visible.

Hello nicesai,

No, not unless you want to manually destroy the pane object (tablay).

delete tabLay;
Well, if you manually allocate the widget on the heap (something we usually avoid in U++, it is not a good practice), yes you need to delete the object when you're done with it (or it will leak)

In general, if we want to create multiple (a lot of, or indeterminate number of) tabs, we'd usually use containers (e.g. could be Array<WithTabLay<ParentCtrl>>, in this case). Containers take care of mem alloc/dealloc. THAT is the way to go.
An example (just to give you an idea. Not the only way to do it)
#include <CtrlLib/CtrlLib.h>
using namespace Upp;
struct MyApp : TopWindow {
TabCtrl tabs;
Array<Button> panes;
Button bt;
MyApp()
{
Title("Tabs test");
Sizeable().Zoomable().CenterScreen().SetRect(0, 0, 800, 600);
Add(tabs.HSizePosZ().VSizePosZ(0, 28));
Add(bt.SetLabel("Add New Tab").HSizePosZ().BottomPosZ(2, 24));
auto AddPane = [this] {
int n = tabs.GetCount();
Button& b = panes.Add();
b.SetLabel("Pane " + AsString(n) + " (click to delete)");
b << [this] { // DelPane
panes.RemoveIf([this](int i) { return &panes[i] == tabs.GetItem(~tabs).GetSlave(); });
tabs.Remove(~tabs);
};
tabs.Add(b.SizePos(), "Tab " + AsString(n));
};
bt << [&] { AddPane(); };
for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
AddPane();
}
};
GUI_APP_MAIN
{
MyApp().Run();
}
Best regards,
