programs does not close correctly

[TerraSamba]

my program does not close correctly, I have one KillApp routine that destroys all the objects, but afterwards the program is still visible in the task manager as a not responding program.

Has anybody any idea what could be the cause? The program uses the Inet object to retrieve files from an FTP server.

Hope anybody got some suggestions...

a Form may be hidden and not really unloaded.

 

[TerraSamba]

it is a one-form program, and for my feeling I really destroy everything, up to the fact that I loop through the collections and set every single item to nothing.

Is there something like a known-issue regarding the closing of the inet object?

Oddly if you do this,

Set myform = nothing
Unload myform

The form will not unload, remove the set myform = nothing

Maybe this is the problem ?

 

[TerraSamba]

No, the forms are not the problem ...

for security I have used now
Do While Forms.Count > 1
Unload Forms(0)
Loop
But that changes nothing

Only when I have accessed the ftp section (through Inet) the program is unable to terminate.

I have stepped through the exiting code and there is no object alive before I give the end command. So I hoped anyone knew about some known issue I'm overlooking.

>before I give the end command

Don't use the end command. It will bypass all form unloading code etc. It is the same as pressing the stop button in the IDE.



Take Care

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.

 

[TerraSamba]

that's it .... it was still unloading !!!
Thanx Matt (to Semper as well for the input)

If there are no objects loaded but the app appears in the TaskManager then there could be some code still being executed. To test this temporarily add an END statement after you exiting code this should always force the app to terminate. (Using the END statement is bad practice and should normally be avoided)

By the way your loop will not unload the last form, in your apps case the only form. s/be Do While Forms.Count > 0

OK disregard my last post.
