On Shutdown and Clear Events

[robertjacobs]

I want to enquire if ON SHUTDOWN and CLEAR EVENTS will be supported or do I need to submit an ER. Thanks.

I believe they are already supported.

I believe they are already supported.

On looking in the code ON FINISH does the same thing so i have synonymed it to ON SHUTDOWN. CLEAR EVENTS is in already.

I am thinking that ON SHUTDOWN would be used for _SCREEN (i.e. the application) when you click X (upper right) or click CLOSE from the controlbox (upper left). ON FINISH does not run in this case.

ON SHUTDOWN is in the next RC8 build which MVPs have access to. It is called when you quit Lianja not when you close a window. There is a form property that you can set on _screen (which is just a form really).

_screen.exitOnClose = .t.

This will cause QUIT to be executed when you close that window and as Lianja closes all files before exiting it also calls ON SHUTDOWN/FINISH.
