end program

[Maarten]

hi all

is there a better way to close a program then use end , becouse i think my
win 98 doesn't agree with this method.

there is something strange

wen i close my program with the button in the frame, it says there has been
an error an my program has te shut down (not that bad becouse i was closing
it anyway), but it ain't nice.

i us the unloadstatement to display a box to confirm.

but when i close my program with my closebutton i don't get the error

i tought that when i closed my program with te close button, the
unloadstatement also runs ( actualy it does, becouse it dispalays the box to
confirm).

but why do i get an error when i press the unloadstatement directly and why
it don't sends an error when i do it via my closebutton.

realy strange behaviour.

hope someone knows why

kind regards maarten.

A better way then to use end ???

well you should not use end at all !

End is a reminder of good old basic and may only be used in a program that
exists only by code modules

Using end is considered bad programming as it prevents propper cleanup of
objects loaded in memory

you should unload all forms , and set all object pointers to nothing this
will terminate you program
