Not allowed, as far as I know. The execution point has nowhere to return to after the 'inherited Destroy' line and before the 'end' of the destructor. As another object to destroy it. eg: I use something similar in fpGUI. I post a message to the fpgApplication instance and request it to free of a modeless form (create for CreateForm()). > BTW, I'm trying my hand at creaing an MVC and I need the controller to be able > to free itself because it is the object that 1) Creates the View (form) and 2) > the Model (object) and mediates between them. Out of interest. Have you had a look at MGM (Model-GUI-Mediator) yet? I'm using it in our current projects and having great success with it. MGM fits in somewhere between MVC and MVP. I think it ties in much better with todays more advanced GUI toolkits. It's also very simple to implement. tiOPF contains an implementation using RTTI to automate a lot of things, but a much simpler implementation could have been used as well.
