Can MDI be motified when child closes

[SamSpade]

I need a MDI form to be notified when one of it's child closes.

I could define an event in each child and raise it when it closes.

But if there is some WinProc message that occurs when a child closes I would
rather use it and automate the process.
Second question. When a form Closed event occurs is the form then disposed.
I want to check the variable that references the form and if the form is
closed do a 'New"
So I'll check to see if it's disposed - right?

thanks
