Endin Application - Again

[WayneBecker]

There have been many postings and helps on Shutting down an application I have tried to follow them in my coding but the application will not close when I choose the menu pick "Exit CANstamp".

This is my code sample:

Main Program

MODIFY WINDOW SCREEN TITLE 'Spinney Hill Software'
_screen.icon="c:\canstamp\graphics\shs_16x16.ico"
Owner = "John Tucker"
DO FORM c:\canstamp\forms\canstamp_sign_on.scx
DO c:\canstamp\menus\CANSTAMP.MPR
READ EVENTS


CANSTAMP.MPR "Exit CANstamp" - Menu Pick

ON SHUTDOWN DO c:\canstamp\progs\ShutDownProc


ShutDownProc

Procedure ShutdownProc
CLOSE ALL
CLEAR ALL
CLEAR EVENTS
ON SHUTDOWN
QUIT
ENDPROC


What do I need to fix to make it work?

Thanks in advance...........Wayne

Wayne,
Your command ordering just needs a little tweaking - try:

MODIFY WINDOW SCREEN TITLE 'Spinney Hill Software'
_screen.icon="c:\canstamp\graphics\shs_16x16.ico"
Owner = "John Tucker"
ON SHUTDOWN DO c:\canstamp\progs\ShutDownProc
* Menu is usually usually done before the Form,
*  although this is not critical
DO c:\canstamp\menus\CANSTAMP.MPR
DO FORM c:\canstamp\forms\canstamp_sign_on.scx
READ EVENTS

May I also presume, that your "Exit CANstamp", Menu Pick also does a "DO c:\canstamp\progs\ShutDownProc"?

in reality you only need to issue quit command.

if you are making a executable, and have included the shutdown program in the exe, you do not need to reference the path. all files that are included in the exe do not need path referencing. Only paths needed if the files are external to thr program.

It could be that if your program is included in the exe and you are referencing a path it is not really finding the shutdown program. Attitude is Everything

Thanks fellows it worked great. I did have to leave the form ahead of the menu or the form did not appear.

Thanks again for solving my problem...........Wayne
