Re: Closing forms Runtime

Oracle TechNet has a writeup on this.

EXITING MULTIPLE FORM APPLICATIONS
[Quoted] DocumentID:9516423.61 Title: Exiting Multiple Form Applications

Basically, they say to set a global: Quit_all to "N" when the first form starts, then set it to "Y" when you want to close your forms. Each form needs to check Quit_all when activated, this way, subsequent forms detect Quit_all = "Y" and close themselves.

Here's some snips from the writeup.
...
Note: Include this trigger on the initial form.

      This initializes the global variable.

  When-New-Form-Instance

      :global.quit_all := 'N';
...
Note: This trigger needs to be on every form in the application,   including the initial form. Create it at the form level. It fires   when the form regains focus.

  When-Window-Activated

      IF :global.quit_all = 'Y' THEN
         EXIT_FORM;
      END IF;

they mentioned code to put under a button (to close forms)   When-Button-Pressed

      :global.quit_all := 'Y';
      EXIT_FORM;

they also mentioned that if your running your own menus, it's easier to add a menu item to close forms. This would avoid adding the button on every form.

you're really lucky if you've got subclassed forms (only need to make one change to class' WHEN_FORM_ACTIVATED trigger.)

Good Luck. Rich
