Window won't close - SOLVED

General
21

Do I understand that correctly:

  1. Menu > Quit: works
  2. Window > red close button: works
  3. CloseWindowMenuItem > MenuHandler for CloseWindowMenuItem: the application does not quit and the window stays visible
22

#1 does NOT work
#2 does work
#3 - how is this different than #1… or did you think I had an additional menu command (which I do not)

#1 and #2 are the methods

23

For me this is the same as number 2. If the only code in the menu handler is Self.Close(). I would never call App.Quit from a window – sometimes this did not work for me.

24

no where did I say I did this… there is no QUIT command anywhere in the code
I am attempting to follow proper procedure…
#1 - App is requested to close… it closes all windows
#2 - WIndow is requested to close, and App quits if all windows are closed (via AutoQuit=true)

25

Nowhere did I say you said this. It was my explanation that in the CloseWindowMenuItem menu handler I always have Self.Close() (when using AutoQuit) and not App.Quit.

26

Do you have a menu handler implemented for the FileQuitMenuItem (in App, not in the window)?

27

no

28

In the canvases do you use Picture instances? Or FolderItems to load image files?

29

Norm, Bob … I did what you suggested… nothing changed…

Eli - there are 3 canvas

  • two are used as a containers, and has only FillRect in its PAINT, with no other events
  • the third has a DrawPicture command
30

Maybe something is preventing the release of the picture?

31

Would it be possible to post the project (or make a sample project to emulate the issue)?

SOLVED … Thanks to Tim

I was using

winMain.ShowModal

changing it to

winMain.Show

solved the problem… Thanks Tim
