Hide components panel on close
-
I am making a few posts atm but thats because im hurrying to meet a deadline
this problem is that I want my components panel to close when sketchup closes. is there an on event close function that I could use?

Yup, look at the AppObserver.

I just had a look at that and it seems to be what I am looking for but when I put
def onQuit() UI.messagebox("onQuit; ") endinto my .rb file nothing seems to happen no messagebox appears

It has to be put into a class and you have to instantiate the class as a tool. And you also have to attach an observer to the Sketchup object.
Check out the full example in the introduction paragraph on that page. It shows better how to use it in context.

Apart from onQuit is broken on Mac OSX which is annoying.
Also be aware that these "stuff has finished / been deleted" generally get invoked after the fact so don't expect to get useful info from the objects in question.
