Freeing Resources from Gadgets

[Baslo]

Hi,

i wrote a small application that uses the Webgadget. The app takes up approx. 13 MB of RAM. Now what i'm trying to do is:

If the Window is set to invisible (e.g via HideWindow()) i want the Memory to be freed. Most of the 13 MB is used by the WebGadget, i think. Is there a way to unload Gadgets (couldn't find a solution in the forums/docs), or do i have a logical problem? How would you solve that problem?

Thanks in Advance,
Baslo

Can you not just free the webgadget if this really is the source of the memory consumption? Rebuild it whenever the window is unhidden etc.

Yeah i looked for a function to do that but i couldn't find anything helpful.
I tried SetGadgetState() but the memory consumption remained the same.

Is there a function that removes Gadgets completely (visual and from memory)? And would that be recommended?

FreeGadget().

If you minimize the window before hiding, it looks a lot better in Windows' Task Manager

Thanks.
But unfortunately only 1 MB will be freed.
When i omit the WebGadget completely the app uses only 2.5 MB RAM.

Sorry i missed your post. Works perfectly; when in Systray-Status only 4.5 MB RAM. The revoke is now slower, though.

Thank you, guys

Ah ok, just for the record:

It's not slow. The freeing of gadgets (FreeGadget()) is useless, just minimize the window and everything is alright: speed good, memory good.
