Clearing Gui Env or Removing GUI element?

Hi all,

I'm another Irrlicht developer newbie with an easy question...

I have created an IRR device with GUI elements (all of that works) with events, etc. Now, I want to clear all of the GUI elements, so I can add other GUI items. How can I clear/drop the entire GUI environment or remove an individual element?

I've searched through the API and forum, but this is probably so easy that it isn't mentioned anywhere

For example, I can click on checkbox, then I want two buttons to appear. uncheck it then 2 buttons disappear, etc. (I'm not really looking to hide or toggle visibility, just remove.)

Or click a button and all GUI environment is cleared and new GUI environment is created, etc.

thanks,

P.S. Great engine you have here too. I seen the news on gamedev a few days ago and have been messing around with it.

for visibility its mButton->setVisible(false);

for removing it, its mButton->remove();

where mButton is the name of your button

Thanks.

Is there a way to clear the entire GUI environment, without looping through each element?

I was able to use that information and just loop through each item in the environment. Thanks for the help.

remove the topmost element, this will remove the children and children of the children .., avoid removing the root element though.
