Re: Closing Multiple Forms From Menu>Exit

Hi,

The following has worked for me:

1. Initialize a global to 'N' e.g. Default_Value('N', 'GLOBAL.exit_app');
2. Each form should include this form level trigger:

[Quoted]        WHEN-WINDOW-ACTIVATED:  Check if global is now 'Y'
          e.g.  If :GLOBAL.exit_app = 'Y' Then
                      Exit_Form;
                   End If;

3. A procedure or trigger should exist to be called by the menu

    item that exits the application:

          e.g.  Copy ('Y', 'GLOBAL.exit_app');
                   Exit_Form;

As each form is exited, the next form becomes active, the WHEN-WINDOW-ACTIVATED fires, and that form exits.

This is also documented in the Developer 2000 documentation.

Hope it helps.
