Handling Close View event

[CodeBrain]

I am searching for a good way to inform an object which paints into a CView window if the user tries to close the view. It's very important for me that my paint object first stops its painting and then do an deinitialization before the view can be closed. So I must catch the close event, send an information to the paint object and then send the close message again to the view. Any good ideas? Thanks in advance.

Try adding a handler for OnDestroy() to your view. Call your deinit routine, and then call the base class CView::OnDestroy().  onwards and upwards...
