Freeing gadgets question

BlitzMax Forums/MaxGUI Module/Freeing gadgets question

If I FreeGadget() on a window, does that properly free all the gadgets attached to the window as well? or do I have to manually free every gadget individually?

As there are no other answers yet:
I would think that the garbage collector should free every gadget attached to a window by itself.

That was my theory, either that or the window should free it's children when it's freed. But I can't find an official note anywhere.

yea.
from gadget cleanup code:
For Local tmpChild:TGadget = EachIn kids.Copy()
	tmpChild.CleanUp()
Next

so all kids are deleted when freegadget

Yep - so be careful of dangling pointers.
