I’m pretty sure that once upon a time the code below worked fine. In the latest MBS plugin it does nothing:
dim theBundleID as String = app.getMainAppBundleID ' com.mothsoftware.mailarchiverx
dim maxProcess as ProcessMBS = Utility.getProcess(theBundleID) 'points to the running app
if maxProcess <> Nil then
dim theResult as Integer = maxProcess.QuitProcess
if theResult <> 0 then
Return Replace(kErrorQuit, "<<appname>>", app.getInstallationAppName)
end if
end if
The result is: app is running, theResult = 0
Xojo 2017r1, 32bit, latest MBS, the Captain.
Well, this sends an AppleEvent with Quit.
I could check whether it works here.
[code]dim p as new ProcessMBS
p.GetFirstProcess
do
if p.name = “App Name” then
MsgBox p.Name
dim e as integer = p.QuitProcess
MsgBox "quit: "+str(e)
end if
loop until not p.GetNextProcess[/code]
works here.
An Applescript doesn’t work either (tell application xyz to quit).
On The Captain? (I love this btw) I just got tell application "Overflow" to quit to work in script editor, so does it not work when dragged into and run from Xojo?
I’m on The Captain for stability as well, so I’m happy to help you test things.
Additionally, Christian’s example code worked for me.
That’s very odd. I tested the AppleScript on Mojave and it worked fine. The last time the customer contacted me she was on the Captain, too.
