How to delete GUI instances?

[ FlexSim 18.2.3 ]

I have a GUI in Model/Tools/GUIs/GUI 1.

I want to delete this GUI.

How do I do this?

Thank you,

Jarek

@London MT If you go to toolbox, find the gui and do a right click, can't you just delete it?

Hi @steven.hamoen,

The toolbox of my model doesn't add the Graphical User Interfaces in the navigation tree. I only have a GUI in the Modeltree:

I also can't go back to the GUI builder once I close the GUI.

When I create a new model and I make a GUI, it does appear in the Toolbox just like in your picture.

Cheers

@London MT Hi Jarek, can't you simply right click on the node and delete it?

@steven.hamoen ,

I can click on the folder "GUIs" and delete it, but then I delete all my GUIs. If I right-click on the node it doesn't do anything. So I cannot delete that one specific GUI.

cheers,

Jarek

@London MT Ok so that node is corrupt one way or the other. Have you tried to select it as so() and then use the command: clearcontents to delete the content nodes first and then finally delete the last GUI 1 node. Or delete the content nodes 1 by 1?

@steven.hamoen,

When I select the node GUI 1, and I return so() in the script console, it returns a <no path>.

So I cannot use clearcontents because of that.

Cheers

@London MT Have you first designated that node as so()? See this picture:

@steven.hamoen

Sorry I have accidentally selected the node and not "designated" it.... I cannot designate it from OnRightClick because no menu drops down.

@London MT if you select the node and press Ctrl + C if you then go to a script window and press Ctrl + V do you get the path to the node? If yes you could try the following script:

treenode theGUI = node("the path you get from the Ctrl + V", model() );
clearcontents( theGUI );

On another machine the GUI builder was performing without issues. The issue only exist on my machine within this model.

The workaround this issue was to open the model on a different machine, create the GUI, save the model and send it back to my machine. If this problem turns up in the future I will contact Flexsim support again.

Thanks,

Jarek
