*.exe problem ?

[sami1983]

I have completed my project and make a *.exe for the VB program.

There is no problems with the functions of *.exe.

The pronblem is that when i have exited the *.exe, inside the task manger , the *.exe is still running.

It is any good idea to terminate the *.exe completely.......

You may have forms still loaded....

Write an exit point for the application in a standard module...in this exit routine, destroy all global variables and every form in the forms collection...

eg;

Public Sub UnloadApplication

    Dim frm As Form

    Set g_myObject = Nothing

    For Each frm in Forms 
        Unload frm
        Set frm = Nothing
    Next

End Sub

Just call this routine when you application is going to close...

Hi sami1983,

This Sub can be replaced by simple End statement
For example:

Public Sub UnloadApplication()
     End
End Sub

End statement unloads all active(loaded) forms.

You shouldn't use the End statement to terminate a program. There is somthing in your program that is keeping it from unloading properly. I've seen this happen with sub-forms, database connections and Crystal Reports. Using the End statement can lead to corrupt data in your database (if you're using one) and other maladies caused by the improper termination of an object without releasing its dependencies (memory leak.) The proper solution is to unload *everything* in the Form_QueryUnload event procedure. Then the application will end on the when the Unload event has completed. If you're using the .Hide method on a sub-form then that is likely the culprit.

Thanks a lot all guys here.

The problem has been solved.It was due to some some hiden forms that i had not closed yet.

Hi, Dmorley. The Sub given by u works perfect, but one thing that:
Sometimes, the user exit the form just by closing it rather than go through by pressing "Exit" button.
If they do in such way, the Sub will not be called and the *.exe is still running.

Hope that u can get what i mean.....

Thanks..

Sami,

Don't call the UnloadApplication routine directly from the cmdExit_Click event, instead call it from the Form_Unload or Form_QueryUnload events.

In cmdExit_Click, you can just write something like...

Unload Me

And then...

Private Sub Form_Unload

Call UnloadApplication

End Sub

This way, if your user clicks on Exit or if they close the window using the X button, the UnloadApplication routine is always called...

Hope that helps...

That's what i need......

Thanks for ur kindly help, Dmorley.

In main form:

Private sub Query_Unload(....)

    Dim frm As Form

    Set g_myObject = Nothing

    For Each frm in Forms 
        'avoid calling this code from here! 
        If frm.Hwnd<>me.Hwnd then
           Unload frm
           'Set frm = Nothing 'do not need this, but you could keep it
        End If
    Next


end sub
