How to Override this Method

There are several important things that must take place in the correct order to properly remove a Widget from a Panel. Not all of these steps will be relevant to every Panel, but all of the steps must be considered.

1. Validate: Make sure this Panel is actually the parent of the child Widget; return false if it is not.
2. Orphan: Call Panel.orphan(Widget) first while the child Widget is still attached.
3. Physical Detach: Adjust the DOM to account for the removal of the child Widget. The Widget's Element must be physically removed from the DOM.
4. Logical Detach: Update the Panel's state variables to reflect the removal of the child Widget. Example: the Widget is removed from the Panel's WidgetCollection.

Specified by:

remove in interface HasWidgets

Overrides:

remove in class ComplexPanel

Parameters:

child - the widget to be removed

Returns:

true if the child was present
