GUI element removal

Although this question definitly is a evilly n00bish one, I can't actually seem capable of finding the anwser...

Since I'm buidling thisngs from the ground up, I included lua, and a nice console system. Creating the output listbox/textbox is not a problem, but I somehow doubt that the user will be happy about seeing a big console window taking half of his screen, so the ingenious idea of hiding/deleting the GUI element was born in my head. All is fine, but neither drop()ping nor delete ing is a good solution, and counter-intuitive as it is, the GUI manager doesn't have, AFAIK, any functions for deleting unwanted GUI elements.

Summary, in case you're lazy: How can I delete a textbox/listbox?

I thought that worked only with some GUI tree stuff something...

which in fact brings me to the question - what does adding a child node do? Does it dissapear when the mother element dissapears and takes the mother element as the relative coord system or what?

Yes. It also moves when the parent moves.

Or you can hide with setVisible(true)

Not trying to be a smartass, but it's "false" not "true" It's a simple mistake.

setVisible(false);

Well spotted, the intentional mistake
