Now for any widget (button, radio, checkbox, slider, menu, wtext) you can remove a widget named w from the web page with w.delete().
Also, except for wtext, you can temporarily disable or re-enable a widget with w.disabled = True or False. When an object is disabled it is grayed out (except for a slider) and widget events are not sent to the bound function (a slider can still be moved, but it doesn't do anything).
Here is the updated documentation:
These new features are not yet available for VPython 7.
