Responding to delete event when deleting a Control in the Pa

Hi All

I have a subclassed Control, and I would like to do some stuff if it gets deleted in the Painter while in development mode.

Is there a way I can trap the event?

It seems as though the Painter creates a BaseForm instance which has a deletedObjects collection. I thought if I could re-implement the method that adds deleted controls to this collection, I could slot my bits in there.

Any advise appreciated.

TIA

Have subsequently discovered that the paint method of self.parent is called when a control is deleted in the Painter. (Great).

But, have not yet found a way of determining if self is logically deleted or not.

Comments appreciated.
