Close turing

[Masta_911]

could someone tell me the code that will close turing output window

[rdrake]

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

actually:

Turing:

Window.Close (defWinID)

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

i got another problem now

code:

% 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.

"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.

[Masta_911]

if i use "defWinId" it gives me this error:
Close of standard stream -1 is not allowed

[ericfourfour]

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).

ok thanks.. i wanted to make a quit button for my game and what is the best way to do it. i got the mouse module working all i need to know is how to close the window when i click on the quit button

could someone please help

[Masta_911]

can someone please help me with the quit button
thanks

[ericfourfour]

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

Make a function that returns true if the button has been pressed.

Turing:

if buttonPressed () then     Window.Close (winID) end if

[Masta_911]

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

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

[ericfourfour]

What are these two lines doing?

Turing:

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

[Masta_911]

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

[Clayton]

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.
