closing a screen after exit

[deep]

how do u cloase the run window, after you exit the program?

[MysticVegeta]

first before you run the program, make a window

code:

var win := Window.Open("graphics:300;300")

After you finish the code and where you want to exit, go something like this ->

code:

... exit Window.Close(win)

[deep]

it says that the last statement
Window.Close(win)
will not be executed

You need to exit your main loop and then close the window.

code:

loop % (main)     %code     exit when condition end loop Window.Close (winID)

That is an ok method I find but is kinda messy, I prefer to make window invisble after the program ends.

[Cervantes]

How's that any better? Especially since the program is ending, you'd think you would want to close the window.

[MysticVegeta]

code:

Window.Close(Window.GetActive)

This maybe

I dont think that makes a difference, The loop can run even when the window is closed

I know. What are you talking about?
We're talking about once the main loop has been exitted and the program is finishing. Stargate said it's better to hide the window than close it, and I asked why.

[MysticVegeta]

I meant it could be

code:

Window.Close(win) exit

[Cervantes]

Oh, well, that would require an if statement. Sometimes you need to use the if statement, but often the less bulky exit when is capable.

I said you hide it after the program is finished, so say you have a GUI in there, you would put it after the GUI exit when process event. or after and exit when. Once the window is finished if you hide it. it will be gone for good, no it doesn't stack of finished files. It works better than havign to open the window then close it.

What's wrong with opening a window? There's not much you can do with the program if you don't!
It seems like closing a window would be better management then simply hiding it and letting it sit there forever and ever.

its true since in turing if the program finishes, then there is nothing the user can do with the window anymore.
