CreateFrame() but no DestroyFrame()?

[BDelacroix]

I have searched for this but haven't seen it. Is there a DestroyFrame() function? I believe in cleaning up the resources I allocate.

The reason I ask is that at some time I may need to destroy and recreate buttons (which we all know are really frames). To simply recreate buttons would be a memory leak.

I can work around it, but if a DestroyFrame() exists its easier.

Thank you.

There are (rather complicated) reasons DestroyFrame() does not exist.

Most people requiring dynamic creation will use a recycling scheme. There are also already libraries that will help you do this. It's a rather simple technique: make a pool of frames, and whenever you want to destroy them, put them back in the pool.

Ok, no destroy. I'll use the workaround. I want to stay away from external libraries as one of my goals is small neat code.

Thank you.
