In the Vaadin framework (v7.1.9), how do we remove a Component from it's parent?

I'm only aware of the removeComponent function, but that requires me to get a handle on the parent (ugly):

ComponentContainer parent = (ComponentContainer) child.getParent();
parent.removeComponent(child);

I tried to just detach the child but that removed it from the 'application' without removing the Component from the UI.

if Child is added to Any Layout you should cast it to that layout e.g if child ws added to AbsoluteLayout then 

AbsoluteLayout parent = (AbsoluteLayout ) child.getParent();
parent.removeComponent(child);

Try this one
