Can Views Be Removed Dynamically in the vsgdynamicviews Example?

[xiaoxin0214]

In the vsgdynamicviews example, we can dynamically add views to the window.

My question is — can we also remove views dynamically at runtime?

If so, what would be the proper way to do this using the VSG API?

Thanks!

I am not sure whether I've tried removing windows with standard VSG windowing classes, I have done it with vsgQt based apps so it should work fine, though off the top of my head I can't point you to the exact code to call.

Essentially, you'll want to stop the main loop, wait for any on the Vulkan devices to complete using Viewer::deviceWaitIdle(), make the changes to viewer then continue the rendering loop.

The view was added to the compileManager before compile

            // need to add view to compileManager
            ref_viewer->compileManager->add(*ref_window, view);

How to remove it from the compileManager after i remove the view from the window?

Can i remove it from the std::list<ref_ptr<Context>> contexts by viewID?
