iLogic: Check if Component is there before using IsActive?

[gmetcalfe]

Is it possible to either catch the error on using Component.IsActive or check for a components existence before using Component.IsActive. I have tried to catch the error when a component does not exist but have had no success. What I am trying to achive is catch/detect the error when a user has deleted a component.

thanks

The Try Catch statement sounds like what you are after.

Here is an example

Try
'try to set the component state
Component.IsActive("non existent part") = True
Catch
'catch error and assume the part does not exist
MsgBox("this part does not exist")
End Try

Hope this helps

[Slaps forehead] Feel really daft now.

For some reason I did not think you could use try catch blocks in iLogic, didn't even try it. Was messing about with the old vb style "on error" instead.

thanks, thats great.
