how can i be sure a link is valid?
if i store a link in a container  and later the object is deleted , the link is still pointing at the deleted object.
so if i then access  i,e name=link->GetName() cinema will crash.
if i do   if (link) name=link->GetName();
it still crashes cos the link exists in the container but has really been deleted
so i want to know , how  can i verify 100% that a link pointer is still valid?
cheers
Paul
