Creating a Destroy Message

You can create a destroy message from the Toolbox.

1. Click the Message tool in the Toolbox.
2. Click the lifeline of the sender object or actor and, while holding down the mouse button, drag the cursor towards the lifeline of the receiver object.
3. Release the mouse button on the lifeline of the receiver, and then double-click the newly created message symbol to display its property sheet.
4. Select Destroy from the Action list in the Detail tab (this action is not available if the message is not the last message on the receiver lifeline).
5. Click OK. An X is placed at the intersection point between the Destroy message arrow and the receiver object lifeline.
