How to close session without messagebox??

How to close session without messagebox??

How to close session without messagebox??

(OP)
I am opening a session and downloading files, and I simply want to close the session and the instance of Extra without anyone having to click "Yes" on a messagebox.  The only way I could find to close the session is as follows:
---------------
QuitAllSessions.ebm
---------------
Sub Main

    Pause(2) 'make sure previous macro has finished
    
    dim system as object       
    
    set system = CreateObject("Extra.System")
    if (system is nothing) then
        msg = "CreateObject(""Extra.System"") failed." + chr(13)
        msg = msg + "Try uninstalling, then reinstalling EXTRA! Personal Client."
        msgbox msg
        exit sub
    end if
    
    system.quit
End Sub
----------------
----------------

I use this code to call QuitAllSessions.ebm:
----------------
----------------
ret = session.WaitForDisconnect(99999999999)
rc = shell("ebrun quitallsessions.ebm")
----------------
----------------

The code works fine but it pops up an "Are you sure.." Yes/No messagebox.  Can this be done without the messagebox being displayed??

Thanks!!

Hi,

Here's how I close my session from Excel VBA...

CODE

Public oSystem As ExtraSystem
Public oSess As ExtraSession
Public oScrn As ExtraScreen

Sub CloseIMS_Session()
    oSess.Close

    Shell "tskill EXTRA"

    Set oScrn = Nothing
    Set oSess = Nothing
    Set oSystem = Nothing
End Sub

Skip,

Thanks but I'm trying to do it from an Extra! Basic macro instead of using VBA.

RE: How to close session without messagebox??

from the help files

CODE

Sub Main()
    Dim Sys As Object
    Set Sys = CreateObject("EXTRA.System")
' Assumes one or more open sessions
    Sys.Sessions.CloseAll
End Sub
or

CODE

This example closes the active session.

Sub Main()
    Dim Sys As Object, Sess As Object
    Set Sys = CreateObject("EXTRA.System")
' Assumes an open session
    Set Sess = Sys.ActiveSession
    MsgBox "Press to close session."
    Sess.Close
End Sub

I know this is an old thread but couldn't he just turn off the prompts under Options | Global Preferences so that the MsgBox doesn't come up?

Thank you, thank you boatbum!  I dug all around in the settings, can't believe I missed that!

RE: How to close session without messagebox??

I just use this and it works fine.

Sub Main()
    Sendkeys "%F{up}+{Enter 2}"    
End Sub

i know, i know, old thread......
Skip, the TSKILL probably works fine for your purposes but others need to be aware of what the TSKILL is really doing behind the scenes.  The tskill on Extra will kill all extra processes, whether they are 'in scope' of your application or not.

In my environment, users may be using an extra session which is not being used for automation so the tskill would close their session on them, even though that session really has nothing to do with the macro thats closing it.  When our macros close sessions, the dialog box is not displayed and I found the best method is to disable the option via the settings as boatbum cleverly suggested.

On another side note, it would probably be in a coders best interest to reference the session being used by the macro specifically rather than with the activeSession.  Doing this will allow your macro to interact with more than one session if necessary.  if you have any questions about how to do this, let me know and i would be more than happy to provide code

Yes, in my environment, one can only have ONE session open.  So that's a good point!
