What is it you are trying to achieve?
<Replace all the <> with your answers/code and remove the <>>
I have an isp and I am trying to make a button that when clicked exits the program, what the program is doesent matter I just need the program to exit when the button is clicked.

What is the problem you are having?

I am not sure how you go about doing this, I dont know if there is a command that does this, etcDescribe what you have tried to solve this problem

Post any relevant code (You may choose to attach the file instead of posting the code if it is too long)
<Answer Here>

This is all I know about making buttons:


var x, y, bnum, bud : int

drawfillbox ( 100, 280, 200, 310, 4)
drawfillbox ( 100, 240, 200, 270, 2)
drawfillbox (100, 200, 200, 230, 1)

if x >= 100 and x <= 200 and y >= 280 and y <= 310 then
colour ( 4)
put "You clicked the red box"

elsif x >= 100 and x <= 200 and y >= 240 and y <= 270 then
colour (2)
put "You clicked the green box"

elsif x >= 100 and x <= 200 and y >= 200 and y <= 230 then
colour (1)
put "You clicked the blue box"

else
colour (4)
put "Tsk tsk. You did not click inside a box."
end if

I'm not sure what exactly you mean by exit, but I would suggest you read the documentation for Window.Close and return. They might help you accomplish what you want.

If the behavior you wanted was that of Window.Close, remember that the default Turing window's id is "defWinId".

'exiting a program' really just means there's no more code to execute. So the question becomes, if the button is clicked, how do I skip the rest of the code?

I assume you've looked into Mouse.Where, but as you didn't put it in your code...

You also need to be constantly checking, not just once.

look up GUI.QUIT

He's using Mouse.Where buttons, not GUI.

a way to just quit the program,with custom error quit text is "Error.Halt("message here")"
very useful for various things

Turing:

var window : int := Window.Open ("graphics: 200;200")
var exitButton : boolean := false
loop
     % Do Stuff
     % If you clicked inside the exit button
     if mouseX >= exitX and mouseX <= exitX + 20 and mouseY >= exitY and mouseY <= exitY + 20 and mouseClicked= 1 then
          exitButton := true
     end if
     exit when exitButton = true
end loop
Window.Close (window)


You could approach this by using a boolean, so when the user clicks that button, the boolean becomes true, and will exit the main loop. You could then close the window manually

I think this is what the guy was asking:

Instead of having to click manually to close the window, he wants a button that when clicked on closes the window

I found this in a turing reference, this should help you:



import GUI


const screenWidth : int := Config.Display (cdScreenWidth)
const screenHeight : int := Config.Display (cdScreenHeight)
const titleBarHeight : int := 32
const windowEdgeSize : int := 13
const windowWidth : int := 150
const windowHeight : int := 100
var windowID, windowNumber, closeButton, quitButton : int := 0

procedure CloseAndOpen
if windowID not= 0 then
GUI.CloseWindow (windowID)
end if
windowNumber += 1
var xPos : int := Rand.Int (0, screenWidth - windowWidth -
windowEdgeSize)
var yPos : int := Rand.Int (0, screenHeight - windowHeight -
titleBarHeight)
windowID := Window.Open ("title:Window #" +
intstr (windowNumber) + ",graphics:" +
intstr (windowWidth) + ";" + intstr (windowHeight) +
",position:" + intstr (xPos) + ";" + intstr (yPos))
closeButton := GUI.CreateButton (10, 60, 130,
"Close And Open", CloseAndOpen)
quitButton := GUI.CreateButton (10, 10, 130, "Quit", GUI.Quit)
end CloseAndOpen

CloseAndOpen
loop
exit when GUI.ProcessEvent
end loop
GUI.CloseWindow (windowID)

You don't need a boolean value. Just tell the loop to exit. For example:
Turing:

var window : int := Window.Open ("graphics: 200;200")
loop
     % Do Stuff
     % If you clicked inside the exit button
     if mouseX >= exitX and mouseX <= exitX + 20 and mouseY >= exitY and mouseY <= exitY + 20 and mouseClicked= 1 then
         exit
     end if
end loop
Window.Close (window)
