Command of some sort when terminate = true?

[uberwalla]

ok so i know that if you have a program you can have it so that it runs a certain line of code when you exit the program with the end line or something. if you dont understand well here is an example of what i mean for visual people (kinda like me)

code:

proc quit    draw....    quit end quit blah blah blah put blah get , etc. quit

ok so i know i can do that if the program exits/quits through code. but is there a way to run a command due to someone quiting the program manually. example... u run the code and someone clicks the x top right corner to close. when it goes to close//terminate it runs a command in response. is that possible?

as an example to that. you terminate the program and it automatically saves a screenshot of the turing screen or something. and saves it.

thx in advance

Yes it is possible...

First though, you need to make your window a variable (sounds odd eh)

code:

var GameWindow: int GameWindow := Window.Open("Graphics:max;max") proc endWindow     Window.Close(GameWindow) end endWindow put "this is a test" put "press a key for termanation" Input.Pause endWindow

Is that what you are looking for?

Actually, the correct answer is, "No".

When you click the x on the window, the program is halted. What's really happening is a signal is being sent from the window manager to Turing to tell it to die. In response, Turing pops up a little window with a yes/no dialogue. Unfortunately, there are no commands to interact with this kill signal. That's taken care of on a level above the code you wrote.

As for the example code you posted, it's got problems. First, quit is a predefied keyword, so you can't name a procedure "quit". Second, even if the keyword quit didn't exist and your code didn't have any syntax errors, you'd "put blah", then call quit, which would draw something, then call quit, which would draw something, then call quit, which would draw something, then call quit.... forever. Your program would never quit because of this recursion.

thx for help but its not that odd i know about that but what i was trying to do is that it shuts down when user hits x and as cervantes said wasnt possible.
