gtkWidgetDestroy {RGtk2} | R Documentation

## gtkWidgetDestroy

### Description

Destroys a widget. except that you don't have to cast the widget to `GtkObject`. When a widget is destroyed, it will break any references it holds to other objects. If the widget is inside a container, the widget will be removed from the container. If the widget is a toplevel (derived from `GtkWindow`), it will be removed from the list of toplevels, and the reference GTK+ holds to it will be removed. Removing a widget from its container or the list of toplevels results in the widget being finalized,

### Usage

    gtkWidgetDestroy(object, ...)

### Arguments

``object`` | a `GtkWidget`

### Details

In most cases, only toplevel widgets (windows) require explicit destruction, because when you destroy a toplevel its children will be destroyed as well.
