How can I make an object disappear on the Mac?

Question

So basically I just want to have the user click on an NSButton, and have it disappear once it is clicked. How can I do that?

Answer 1

-removeFromSuperview should do what you want:

NSbutton *myButton = button;

[myButton removeFrowSuperview];

Answer 2

NSButton is a sublcass of NSView, which has these two handy methods:

• - (void) removeFromSuperview
• - (void) setHidden:

Whichever you need depends on what exactly your application should do.

Answer 3

Your button's action method might look like this:

-(IBAction)buttonClick:(id)sender
{
    [[self button] setHidden:YES];
}

It might be a better idea to disable it instead:

-(IBAction)buttonClick:(id)sender
{
    [[self button] setEnabled:NO];
}

Not a judgement call, just saying.
