Remove and destroy children from a grid? (Candidate for NGUITools?)

[John.Bergman]

Surely there must be an easier way than this to delete all of the items in a UIGrid?

      Transform oGridTransform = this.FindChild("Grid", this.transform);
      UIGrid oGrid = oGridTransform.GetComponent<UIGrid>();

      //-- First, iterate through the grid, and remove any children that are present...
      List<Transform> lstChildren = new List<Transform>();
      foreach(Transform oChild in oGridTransform)
      {
        lstChildren.Add(oChild);
      }
      oGridTransform.DetachChildren();
      foreach(Transform oTransform in lstChildren)
      {
        oTransform.gameObject.SetActive(false);
        DestroyImmediate(oTransform.gameObject);
      }

What am I missing?

Why isn't there an NGUITools.RemoveChild()?

1. while (transform.childCount > 0)
2.     NGUITools.Destroy(transform.GetChild(0).gameObject);

I am having a similar problem, I am creating a bunch of buttons at runtime in a grid, but the buttons are not being destroyed afterwards.

Here is how I add the buttons:

1. GameObject grid = GameObject.Find("Logic Grid");
2.  
3. int length = PlayEditorStrings.szStandard.Length - 1;
4.  
5. for (int i = 0; i < length; ++i)
6. {
7.     GameObject player = NGUITools.AddChild(grid, Resources.Load("Logic Button") as GameObject);
8.    
9.     player.name = PlayEditorStrings.szStandard[i];
10.     player.GetComponentInChildren<UILabel>().text = PlayEditorStrings.szStandard[i];
11. }
12.  

And here is what I am calling on OnApplicationQuit()

1. GameObject grid = GameObject.Find("Logic Grid");
2.  
3. if (grid != null)
4. {
5.     Transform trans = grid.transform;
6.  
7.     while (trans.childCount > 0)
8.     {
9.         NGUITools.Destroy(trans.GetChild(0).gameObject);
10.     }
11. }

However, none of the objects are ever being destroyed, and will pile up if I run it multiple times.

I was doing something similar with UILabel prefabs, and it works fine, but using a simple button made as a prefab doesn't work.

Nevermind. It was actually working, however, my initialize function was being called again after the OnApplicationQuit call. I still don't know why, but I have fixed that problem.

Can I ask how did you fixed that issue? (my initialize function was being called again after the OnApplicationQuit call)

Thanks.
