Hello Dave, I was just asked to add an option to shutdown my vfp9 app from an unattended workstation.
I am very interested in how you "gracefully close down all the forms open" ?? Would you mind sharing your survival class ? I think I can handle the timer on the main form looking for a trigger to start the shutdown process. Just need help with the closing of any open forms and quit the app in an automated / unattended mode. Thanks, Kent -----Original Message----- From: ProFox [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dave Crozier Sent: Wednesday, January 15, 2014 11:11 AM To: ProFox Email List Subject: Quick ideas required... In my mainline program I have a global "survival class" that looks for the existence of a particular file every few seconds. If that file is present then the mainline gracefully closes down all the forms open at that time and then exits VFP.... this works no problem except when a print preview screen is open in which case the preview window doesn't close, in fact the mainline class is never clicks into time mode to check for the file existence. Any quick ideas on how I can a) check for the existence of a print preview window and b) close it automatically. I think the solution will be to add the class into the report somewhere but I can't decide if this is the best approach. Any ideas?
