You can halt execution, but you cannot close the main window itself.

actually:

Window.Close (defWinID) ;)

EDIT: Dan, "defWinID" should be grey, as it is a predefined constant for Turing.

Re: Close turing

-----------------------------------

i got another problem now   :? 


% Open the window
var winID : int
winID := Window.Open ("position:300;300,graphics:200;200")

% Draw the random ovals in the box
var x, y, clr : int
for : 1 .. 20
    x := Rand.Int (0, maxx)             % Random x
    y := Rand.Int (0, maxy)             % Random y
    clr := Rand.Int (0, maxcolor)           % Random color
    Draw.FillOval (x, y, 30, 30, clr)
end for

var ch : char := getchar                    % Wait for input

Window.Close (winID)                    % Close the window


heres the code i got from turing help and i wanted to know if there is a way to initialize 'winID' without having to use Window.Open command.

Re: Close turing

"defWinID" is the default window ID for the run window that pops open whenever you output something. Simply call Window.Close() with defWinID as the argument, and the default run window will close.

Close of standard stream -1 is not allowed

You cannot close the default run window. You are allowed to hide to however.

Although, you can close windows other than the default one (but you got to open them first).

I read it the first time. Please don't double post.

Make a function that returns true if the button has been pressed.
if buttonPressed () then
    Window.Close (winID)
end if

Re: Close turing

i tried that but the it doesnt close it every time i click the button then it just flickers
heres the code

        if MouseInfo.X > 200 and MouseInfo.X < 600 and MouseInfo.Y > 212 and MouseInfo.Y < 261 then
            clos := true
        end if
        if clos = true then
            winID := Window.Open ("position:0;0,screen:max;max")
            Window.Close (winID)
        end if

RE:Close turing

-----------------------------------

What are these two lines doing?

winID := Window.Open ("position:0;0,screen:max;max")
Window.Close (winID)

RE:Close turing

-----------------------------------

the first line initializes the winID variable|| dats the only way to initialize it as far as i know|| the second line is supposed to close the window which is not working at the moment

Re: Close turing

-----------------------------------

but that's not the window that you are outputting stuff to... the flicker is a new window opening and then closing.... you need to open the window at the start of your program, set to active, output done, then the window closed.
