Would appreciate some help please, this is probably a simple problem which someone on this forum could resolve instantly. I'm currently learning.

I'm using the AceGUI libraries for creating the GUI frames, I've created a dropdown box but I'm having difficulty releasing the widgets correctly.

I've updated my code to

widgetName:ReleaseChildren()

and

AceGUI:Release(widgetName)

but I get multiple errors for "Attempt to Release Widget that's already been released". I'm unsure what the correct way of releasing the widget within a dropdown box is.


Scenario:

When I select a dungeon, I've added a test label with some info. But boss 1 and 2 has a Lua table with details. But I'm unable to release the container with the "Testing hello.." to then display the correct information based on the selection.

Code snippet of the bossDropDown:

                bossDropDown:SetCallback("OnValueChanged", function (self, event, value)

                    if value == "0" then

                        adventureGuideFrameTab:SelectTab("tab2")
                    elseif value == "1" then

                        local textlabel = AceGUI:Create("Label")
                        textlabel:SetFont("Fonts\\FRIZQT__.TTF", 12, nil)
                        textlabel:SetText(encounterJournal[48][1])
                        textlabel:SetFullWidth(true)
                        textlabel:SetFullHeight(true)
                        scrollcontainer:AddChild(textlabel)
                    elseif value == "2" then

                        local textlabel = AceGUI:Create("Label")
                        textlabel:SetFont("Fonts\\FRIZQT__.TTF", 12, nil)
                        textlabel:SetText(encounterJournal[48][2])
                        textlabel:SetFullWidth(true)
                        textlabel:SetFullHeight(true)
                        scrollcontainer:AddChild(textlabel)
                    end
                end)

            end)
