Joe READ EVENTS starts the EVENT processing CLEAR EVENTS is what stops the EVENT processing
You need to put a CLEAR EVENTS somewhere in your application where it will be executed. Once READ EVENTS is executed it will not go to the next line of code until a CLEAR EVENTS is issued. Essentially READ EVENTS is a waiting for an EVENT to occur for which an action will take place. It will process the code associated with the event and once completed will wait for the next event to respond to and so on until a CLEAR EVENT is issued at which time it will no longer respond to events. Typically a CLEAR EVENTS would be a part of an application shutdown process or similar. -----Original Message----- From: ProfoxTech [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Joe Yoder Sent: Wednesday, 2 March 2016 9:49 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Suggestions for closing out simple applications? My application is so simple that it has no menu. Is there an advantage to having the clear events in a form rather than directly following the read events in the main program? Also - what am I missing that would allow the command window to become active after my forms close or is moving the clear events what needs to happen?
