Re: [lazarus] TApplication.Terminate
Hi, I had the same problem a while ago. There were some discussions on this list and this seems to be a deep bug. In my case, I noticed that any timer runing would not stop. Finally I found the ultimate weapon: I send the kill command to the shell. 1 -find the PID of your program 2 - send exec(kill pid); (something like that. I can give you the exact code if you want) It works!

As the comment in the source say : - TApplication Terminate Class is terminated and the component engine is shutdown - Is it really killing the application or just shutting down the gui system ? How do I stop the Application running immediately ? _ To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe as the Subject archives at http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailarchives _ To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe as the Subject archives at http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailarchives

I've had the same bug, but I think THAT answer lacks a certain elegance as an
interim measure, I chose to remember some of my old pascal, and my close
handlers look like this:
{Insert code to try and cleanup as much as possible here}
application.terminate;
halt;
The halt command of course is technically a pascal command but it DOES seem to
work. The only thing I'm not sure of is what it actually DOES under linux,
hopefully it uses signals. I do know that it's alternative form
[halt(status:integer);] is apparently the only way to set an exit status
(granted that is more commonly needed for commandline than GUI apps however).

I rather see a good example with a bug report, so that the deep bug can
be fixed.
Of course this can be 'wrong' use of Application.Terminate too, but an
example can show that too.

Re: [lazarus] TApplication.Terminate
I know kill will work but that's a dirty solution. And it doesn't work on Windows (in fact there should be some api call to do the same :) ) Halt seems more clear. I will try to make a good example app and send a bug report. Maybe some common solution should be added to the Wiki.
