Badly phrased, should read: My component editor creates a form that is used to interact with the object inspector at deisgn time to modify sub-components and their properties. This form is displayed when the Edit method of the component editor is called (ie. executeverb(0)). This is fine. But the component can be deleted or the unit/project can be closed while the component editor's form is open - in which case I need my component editor to be notified so it can free the form. At the moment the form just stays open and an access violation occurs because it doesn't know that the component is no longer there. Any suggestions? Thanks, Phil.
