GUICtrlDelete(), GUICtrlCreateDummy()

[anonymous]

Not sure If GUICtrlDelete() should delete a GUICtrlCreateDummy() created control. If not, its at leased documented this way.

I consider this a bug. The following script demonstrates that the dummy control is not deleted. I cannot think of any valid reason why the delete request should be ignored:

Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)
GUICreate("Test")
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)	; Required
Local $idDummy = GUICtrlCreateDummy()
GUICtrlSetOnEvent($idDummy, "OnDummy")
GUICtrlSendToDummy($idDummy)	; Test the event works.
GUICtrlDelete($idDummy)	; Delete the control.
GUICtrlSendToDummy($idDummy)	; The event SHOULD NOT fire but it does.

Func OnDummy()
	MsgBox(4096, "", "Called")
EndFunc	; OnDummy()

Found this comment in the source code:

case AUT_GUI_DUMMY:
	return 0;            // Can't delete these yet

Not sure why...

Can't see any reason this code needed to be there. Maybe it was supposed to be "break" rather than "return". Removing and marking as fixed.
