_app.framewin.onClose event
|
|
|
| Hi,
is there a _app.framewin.onClose event in PLUS?
I'd like to be ableto capture when the app "X" button is clicked in my
mdi application.
I could use a invisibkle form and call the canClose event, but
Idliekto know if there is a better way to do it
Thanks!

Heh. Well, thanks for the compliment, which I had more influence on the
software myself ... (and a canClose and/or onClose event for the _app
object would be useful ...)

Even though there is not such an event for _app.framewin, any open
form's CanClose event will still fire when the dreaded "X" is clicked.
But, alas, I don't think there's a way to tell if the CanClose was fired
by the user closing the form...or by the user closing the application
with the "X".
I don't believe the form's OnClose events fire in that situation.

| Well, when the door closes over here, try a door over there. If I
understand you, you want to know if an "X" close to a previous form was
done. Why not do it the other way around then; place an _app.variable (just
as an example here) in the form.Close() button code that will be true if
they use the button but will remain false if they didn't use it and pressed
the "X". This will tell you the same thing, yes?? ;-)
Besides, if you don't want them to use the "X", I think I saw code about
turning off the "X" on a form - won't that prevent it for you?? Are you
looking to prevent the user from exiting that way or do you just want to
know if they used the "X"? If the latter, than use my method above.

| P.S.: In case you were referring to the closing of the program, the last
form, returning to Windows, then the previous answer won't work. However, I
am undaunted. Create a system variable or even a small text file with the
dateTime information or whatever. If they closed normally, it will exist -
if they used the "X" then it won't. When the program starts up it can erase
the text file so you won't have an older one around.

| You can use too a .mem file where store the variable and when the program
start check the variable stored in the mem file.
something like:
//
if file("myvariable.mem")
restore from myvariable.mem additive
if xpush = true // last exit with pushbutton procedure
// your code
else
// your code
endif
endif
xpush = false
save all like xpush* to myvariable.mem
//
function close_button
xpush = true
save all like xpush* to myvariable.mem
form.close()
return

I haven't tried it myself so this could be incorrect but I seem to
remember a thread a while back where it was reported that the "save all
like" command didn't work properly.

variables that I consider not relevant to store in a table.

If it works, that's fine. It's what it is supposed to do! <g> As I said,
I remeber somene having trouble with it but it may not have been dBase
Plus 2.6.

I think you mis-remembered. My understanding is that older MEM files are
not necessarily supported or read properly with the 32 bit product
(i.e., 7.0 through to current), but you should be able to read/write mem
files in the current product. (there are better ways to do things, but ...)

In my case, long term planning is limited to what to do this afternoon.
And I no longer buy green bananas. <g>

Oh, I'll eat those just to make sure that some of my body parts still work,
or at least still react. Nothing like a roto-rooter nooner. :-))

Tell me about it. I am currently in WI teaching three students some
dBASE programming, and in the middle of showing something and discussing
a property, I completely spaced on the name of it. Sheesh. <g>
Oh well ...
