Look at The ToolsAPI to hook into the IDE, Ray Lischner has a book on this &quot;Hidden Paths of Delphi 3&quot;.<br />
<br />
In Delphi 4, TObject will have a new protected method called BeforeDestruction. &nbsp;I'm not sure that this will help you...the ide and streaming system expect your component to be gone...<br />

Is it possible to hook into the Destroy method of a component and actually prevent it from being removed from the Delphi 3 IDE?<br />
<br />
I want to put in a verification routine, password dialog maybe, when a certain component is deleted. &nbsp;If the verification routine fails, I don't want the component to be removed from the IDE. &nbsp;I've tried raising exceptions but that causes a *lot* of problems with Delphi.<br />
