For example:
I have one window with button. The button has assigned callback to function that creates another window...

If I just do this:

void ClassName::InitDialog()
{
	WithLayout<TopWindow> laySomething;
	CtrlLayoutOKCancel(laySomething, "Something");
	laySomething.OpenMain();
}

... the window disappear after the function is over. I'd have to Execute() the window or ... (I don't know... I'm new in C++ and Ultimate++. I'm trying to understand how to work with the window - what is the best method...)

But when I do this:

void ClassName::InitDialog()
{
	laySomething = new WithSomethingLayout<TopWindow>;
	CtrlLayoutOKCancel(*laySomething, "Something");
	laySomething->OpenMain();
}

... the window is still opened. I can do anything with the window because the pointer to it is declared in the private part of class but the memmory is allocated only when I need it. And when I close the window, the widgets are automatically cleared (destroyed).
So that's why i don't understand why is using new/delete less alegant or less easier... and why I shouldn't do this...
