Making Main FoxPro Screen Closable

[ontsjc]

Hello all,

I have an application that I'm writing where I want the user to be able to close the whole application by selecting the "X" button in the corner of the main FoxPro Screen. In my main procedure I issued:

_Screen.closable = .T.

However, I find that after venturing to some far off corners of my application, the "X" button becomes unavailable and I can't get it back. Any suggestions?

Hope you have
_SCREEN.TITLEBAR = 1

IF youm have no forms open, it should be there (the X that is). It only becomes unavailable if you programmatically set the CLOSABLE property to .F. or if you have a modal form open.

Hi!

ontsjc, X button is available just after app running, right? When you press it, it shows message box 'Canot Quit FoxPro' and disables that button. Right? It is default behavior of VFP. Take a look to the ON SHUTDOWN command. Make a procedure in your main PRG module, at app startup before READ EVENTS specify 'ON SHUTDOWN DO ShutdownProc'. In tha procedure close all forms using _Scrren.Forms collection, than clear events and quit.

Hope this helps.
