My current project has a large amount of gadgets, its wrapped in a Type, when the main window is closed i just call END and the program finishes. is there a better way to do it to make sure all gadgets are freed or this this automatics?

thanks

END should be sufficient. No need to free them manually.

from the docs

Function FreeGadget( gadget:TGadget )
Description Remove gadget and free it's resources.


this can also be used to remove a second window thats been used as a dialog, this will (should!) free all the child gadgets providing they arent being referenced by anything else

Yeah normally. But there are cases where it results in MAVs.

For example: Try to assign a gadget to a treeview or similar ... At least TextFields (wanted to do a "In Gadget" modification of the name) leads to a crash if you free the treeview before the gadget
