Closing A Program after Create 1

[PaidtheUmpire]

What i want to do is once a user starts up the program...

it does the procedures it is supoosed to and then it i'll close itself.

procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
  if paramcount > 0 then
    begin
      FileInput.Clear;
      FileInput.Lines.LoadFromFile(paramstr(1));
    end;
OutputMemo.Clear;
InputIntoGrid;
GridToGrid;
GridToOutput;
SaveTheOutput;
Close;
end;

It currently does everything and then sits there, not closed.

any ideas?

You'll have to terminate the application (ie insert the code [tt]Application.Terminate;[/tt]) rather than close the form if I understand you correctly.

Exactly right.

If using application.terminate then I would make sure that your data is being saved correctly.
I am wondering if the apparent 'hang' is due to the save not having completed for some reason.
application.terminate will do just that i.e. terminate the program immediatly.

I beg to differ - from the help on TApplication, and the Application.Terminate help:

Terminate method (TApplication)
Ends application execution.

Delphi syntax:
procedure Terminate;

C++ syntax:
void __fastcall Terminate(void);

Description
Call Terminate to end the application programmatically. By calling Terminate rather than freeing the application object, you allow the application to shut down in an orderly fashion.

Terminate calls the Windows API PostQuitMessage function to perform an orderly shutdown of the application. Terminate is not immediate.

Terminate is called automatically on a WM_QUIT message and when the main form closes.

In my own apps, posts committed, files closed etc - no grief encountered


Cheers,
Chris
