Re: [platform-swt-dev] replace widget in an composite?

0) If not using a layout, use getBounds()
to remember the position of the old widget.
1) Use "dispose()" to get
rid if the old widget.
2) Use "new" to create the
new Widget. 
3) Are you using a layout?  If
not, use setBounds() to position the new widget and you are done. If using
a layout, you'll need to set the layout data for the new widget.
4) Depending on the (layout ie. FormLayout
doesn't need this but GridLayout does) position the new widget to be at
the same Z-order (using moveBelow() or moveAbove()).
5) Call "parent.layout()"
to position the new widget.

hi,
i want to replace a widget by another in an composite. the widget is placed
in an composite.  first i try to delete the widget by setting the
parent
composite to null and now redraw and update the composite. but the widget
doesn't
disappears. is it possible to clear the composite or remove the widget
from
the composite? for example: i wanna change a widget (CheckButton)  to
a new
widget(List).
what's the best way? 
thanks
