Event called on closing a form...

[Neil Toulouse]

Hi!

Forgive me if I have already asked this, but could someone tell me waht event/method is fired first when the user clicks on the 'X' to close a form?

TIA

1. form1.QueryUnload()
2. form1.Destroy()
3. form1.Unload()


But if you issue somewhere in the form thisfrom.Release() QueryUnload() not fired, so you must changed this to:

IF thisform.QueryUnload()
   thisform.Release()
ENDIF

1. form1.QueryUnload()
2. form1.Destroy()
3. form1.Unload()

I'd add the following:

1. LostFocus of control that currently has focus.

2. Deactivate of the form.

3. QueryUnload (form).

4. Destroy (form).

5. Destroy of each control on the form.

6. Unload (form).

Not sure of the exact order of the first three, but I think the rest are right.

By the way, the same events fire if you close the form by any other interactive means, such as Close from the system menu or the taskbar, or closing Windows.

Hi Neil,

You can always use EVENTTRACKING or COVERAGE to get answers on such questions about the order in which events fire. The evntlist can easily be set to the complete list of all events with a dialog box of the debugger. Choose Debugger from the tools menu of VFP and then choose Event tracking from the tools menu of the debugger. Also see the help on SET EVENTTRACKING, SET EVENTLIST and SET COVERAGE.

Bye, Olaf.

Events of the form's Data Environment might fire too. More details in VFP Help under "events, sequence in Visual FoxPro"
