General Info: Class Destructor

A special class method called when an object instance of a class is destroyed. With some languages they are called when the object instance goes out of scope, with some languages you specifically have to call the destructor in code to destroy the object, and others use a garbage collector to dispose of object instances at specific times.

Desctructors are commonly used to free the object instance but with languages that have a garbage collector object instances are disposed of when appropriate. Either way, destructors or their equivalent are commonly used to free up resources allocated in the class constructor.

Languages Focus: Destructor

Are object instances freed with a garbage collector? Or, do you have to destroy object instances.

VB Classic Destructor

When an object instance is destroyed, VB6 calls a special parameter-less sub named Class_Terminate. For example, when the variable falls out of scope. Since you cannot specify parameters for this sub, you also cannot overload it.

To explicitly destroy an object, use Set YourClass = nothing.

When an object instance is created from a class, VB6 calls a special sub called Class_Initialize.

Find the crease on the transmitter‘s case and pry it open with a clay blade if your transmitter is in a bad way shut at dissertation writing, you‘ll need a screwdriver to open it.
