    Resolved [SOLVED] Program doesn't really exit after unload process

    Hi,
    I'm using in my application "CSocketPlus" (Winsock replacement) and "NotifyIcon" (tray) modules, and in Unload sub I properly unload Socket and remove icon from tray before "End" command, but problem is that program stays in memory until I launch Task Manager I tried many suggestions that I found, but none of them solves this problem
    So, does anyone from here know solution? Thanks in advance!

    I hope you are not using the keyword "End" to close your program? Read posts #10 and #13 here.

    The End statement should never be used, except for reasons really serious.

    If your application stay in memory means that not all component are been properly released.
    Paradoxically End may be the cause of the problem.

    On the main form you should ensure to unload all forms, use a routine like this to release all forms:

    Code:
    Private Sub CloseAllForms()
        Dim f As Form
        For each f in Forms
             If f.Name <> Me.Name Then
                 Unload f
            End If
        Next
    End Sub

    I already tried that, and it didn't solve problem With that code, program won't exit even if I start Task Manager.

    Knock up a small program, or heavily prune a copy of your existing program, only having the likely suspects in that small program.
    Run that and report back (and maybe attach it ?).
    When you said Opening Task Manger ended something, did you mean to say that you opened Task Manager then killed the process ?
    You should try to be as clear and specific as possible, with your posts.

    Re: Program doesn't really exit after unload process

    As mentioned by others you should not use the End statement at all.

    If your program fails to unload completely then that indicates that somewhere in your code you have loaded and object that is not being properly unloaded,

    I've never worked with cSocket so I can't say if that may cause this problem or not.

    That said since you have not told us what your program is doing nor shown any code there is not much we can do.

    No, I meant from moment when I open Task Manager, it ends automatically. I'm sorry that I haven't specified that.

    Re: Program doesn't really exit after unload process

    I solved problem!
    First, you were right (of course) - problem was with "End" command because with that, program doesn't properly unload from memory. But second problem was with one currently loaded form - I put in that form not to unload when user clicks on 'X' button, and when I close main form, that form still remain loaded in memory because of that. I have fixed now that and it works.
    Thanks to all people that tried to help me!

    Re: Program doesn't really exit after unload process

    Have you got any hooks in your program that might be detecting if the task manager is open?

    No, because there's no need for that.
