Surface.getSprites() removed

[donp]

In GXT 3.0.0, it looks like the Surface.getSprites() method was removed.


This method, in prior versions like RC, returned a SpriteList object, which had a clear() method():

clear() 
          Clears all items from the composite and removes them their surface.

This allowed something like this, for removing all Sprites from a drawing/surface:

        // clear the dashboard drawing.
        SpriteList<Sprite> sprites = drawing.getSurface().getSprites();
        sprites.clear();

With the changes in 3.0.0 chart/draw, I see no simple way of doing this. I assume this is a mistake/oversight, because surely we are not expected to iterate over every Sprite in a Surface in order to call Sprite.remove.


Please advise on how to clear a DrawComponent or Surface of all its Sprites.


Thanks,
Don P.

This has been fixed and will be in the next release. Also there is now a direct clearSurface method on DrawComponent.

GXT 3.0.1 has been released and contains this fix.
