Question by mealone · Jul 10, 2015 at 03:35 AM · uibuttoncanvasdestroy

how can I delete a UI button?

Hello, I have a canvas set up with few images and one button. The button is used to log in. I would like to delete the button from the canvas after the user logs in, but I do not want to destroy the actual canvas, or images in the canvas. I only want to destroy the button. How can I do this?

It is not good approach to delete and instantiate gameobjects during the game or app running. You should use enable and disable feature. :)

Perhaps using this on a certain event:

 Destroy(yourButtonGameObject);

I just tried it with this hierarchy:

 $$anonymous$$ainCamera
 GameObjectA    (this destroys gameObject B)
 Canvas
 -----Panel
 ---------GameObjectB

I end up with this:

 $$anonymous$$ainCamera
 GameObjectA    (this destroys gameObject B)
 Canvas
 -----Panel

$$anonymous$$ay I see your hierarchy ?

You can also disable it:

 yourButtonGameObject.enabled = false;

Destroying your UI seems kinda weird, and I'd recommend doing this before Destroy( ... ) for most cases.
