WxWidgets: disable an event as its trigger

Question

I am coding the wxWidgets GUI, which includes the dynamic addition and removal of lines of controls inside a grid through buttons.

Each line of controls has a delete button that fires an event that:

• Removes controls from your sizer
• Hides controls
• Disables button event
• Flags of controls available in pools of reusable controls (I reuse controls because wxWidgets doesn't like deleting files at runtime)

Now I don’t think that turning off an event inside an event handler is good. Is there a better way to achieve this behavior?

this is how i dynamically create my controls

bool filtermanager::add()
{
    if (!grid || !box || !form || !bsizer)
        return false;

    dbgcode(log->d(tag, "add: adding a new filter row"));

    // add and index filter in the filter map and refresh layout
    filter *flt = new filter(this, box, grid);
    filters[flt->removebutton()->GetId()] = flt;
    refreshlayout();

    return true;
}

filtermanager::filter::filter(filtermanager *parent, 
    wxStaticBox *box, wxGridSizer *grid)
    : parent(parent), grid(grid)
{
    controlpool *ctl = parent->ctl;

    // initialize filter row elements
    property = ctl->makeComboBox(box, "property");
    value = ctl->makeTextCtrl(box, "value");
    button = ctl->makeButton(box, "Remove");

    // add filter row to the grid sizer
    grid->SetRows(grid->GetRows() + 1);
    grid->Add(property, 0, wxALL | wxEXPAND, 0);
    grid->Add(value, 0, wxALL | wxEXPAND, 0);
    grid->Add(button, 0, wxALL | wxEXPAND, 0);

    // bind remove button
    button->Bind(wxEVT_COMMAND_BUTTON_CLICKED, &filtermanager::OnRemoveClicked, parent);
}

this is an event handler:

void filtermanager::OnRemoveClicked(wxCommandEvent &e)
{
    wxButton *b = dynamic_cast<wxButton *>(e.GetEventObject());
    filter *flt = filters[b->GetId()];

    dbgcode(log->d(tag, 
        strfmt() << "OnRemoveClicked: remove button event caught" << 
        " property=" << flt->propertycombo() << 
        " value=" << flt->valuetext() << 
        " button=" << flt->removebutton())
    );

    removebyflt(flt);
}

void filtermanager::removebyflt(filter *flt)
{
    int id = flt->id();

    // dealloc filter from the map
    delete filters[id];
    filters[id] = NULL;
    filters.erase(id);
}

filtermanager::filter::~filter()
{
    controlpool *ctl = parent->ctl;

    // unbind button
    button->Unbind(wxEVT_COMMAND_BUTTON_CLICKED, &filtermanager::OnRemoveClicked, parent);

    // remove the filter from the gui
    if (!grid->Detach(property))
        parent->log->e(tag, "~filter: failed to remove property from sizer");

    if (!grid->Detach(value))
        parent->log->e(tag, "~filter: failed to remove value from sizer");

    if (!grid->Detach(button))
        parent->log->e(tag, "~filter: failed to remove button from sizer");

    grid->SetRows(grid->GetRows() - 1);

    // refresh panels as usual
    parent->refreshlayout();

    ctl->free(property);
    ctl->free(value);
    ctl->free(button);
}
