Hi folks,

I've had a look through the manual and other forum topics, and I can't find this topic discussed. I'm looking to capture an event (and set a session custom prop) when a docked-view is hidden via the [handle](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/ignition-modules/perspective/views-in-perspective/docked-views#docked-view-properties), or when the docked view is auto-hidden, if the display property is set to onDemand or auto.

I've tried using the view `onShutdown` event, but this does not appear to fire, nor does the root container `onShutdown` fire when the docked view is hidden.

I know I could skin this cat if I implemented a custom button to act as a "handle" for the dock, but I would rather keep the built-in handle, if possible.
