Thanks! You've some great help. Will try out the code. Just feels cleaner to just all the interface code in one place.

And here's the code to dynamically create a widget:

var w = { "name":"s", "type":"Slider"};
var _w = control.makeWidget(w);
control.widgets.push(_w);
control.addWidget(w.name, control.currentPage);

I need to clean that up, but, for now you need four lines of code. - Charlie

Hmmm. Well, you can use the same thing as before to disable it, but just do it temporarily. So, for hiding:

mySlider.hide();
mySlider.event = function();

Then, you can look at the Slider's prototype to get the event back:

mySlider.show();
mySlider.event = Slider.prototype.event;

Hope this helps... - Charlie

I know that it is possible to create a widget through OSC but is it possible to create a widget through scripting within Control itself?

I am currently working with the show/hide method but the hidden widget is still there and can be controlled while hidden. I don't want to function while hidden so I guess it has to be removed?
