Programmatically Removing a Button from a Window in Cocoa OSX

I need to programmatically remove a button from a window in Cocoa but the only method close to this was dealloc in NSObject, but this is not what I want to do. Is there a way to actually delete the button from the window not just deallocate its memory?

Solution

  • An NSButton is a subclass of NSControl, which itself is a subclass of NSView.

    You should be able to remove the button from it's superview by calling -removeFromSuperView on the button instance.
