How to refresh Maya cmds.gridLayout?

Maya cmds: I have a basic grid and I want to remove an item, but the grid doesn't update. So the removed item keeps taking up space. How can I make the gridLayout refresh or re-align its items?

import maya.cmds as cmds

def change(*args):
    cmds.iconTextCheckBox('two', edit=True, visible=False)

window = cmds.window()
cmds.gridLayout()

cmds.iconTextCheckBox('one', style='textOnly', label='item')
cmds.iconTextCheckBox('two', style='textOnly', label='item')
cmds.iconTextCheckBox('three', style='textOnly', label='item')

cmds.button(label='GO', command=change)
cmds.showWindow(window)

Executing your code you don't delete the second element, you're just turning its visibility off.

To check this statement, execute the following line of code and you'll turn a visibility on:

cmds.iconTextCheckBox('two', edit=True, visible=True)

enter image description here

Solution

You need to use QT's QGridLayout() class (not Maya's cmds). To remove a widget from a layout, call removeWidget() method.
