VB closes after program closes [resolved]

[aldinator]

hey - i've had this problem happen before and i magically fix it but i'd like to know what causes it and how i am actually fixing it

sometimes when i close my program by hitting the X it closes my VB as well

any ideas?

Yes...me too.

You aren't closing your program, the X that you are hitting is the close for the VB IDE. Been there....done that....got the tee-shirt!

Do you have any subclassing? It'll cause VB to error, when the program is ran in the IDE.

well hack - thats not it cause when i hit my exit button (coded for "end") it does the same

when i hit the stop button in the vb ide it stops properly

i do have od menus and i think that may be it but it didn't happen before (even though i had od menus then). im very, very confused

[DiGiTaIErRoR]

Hmm....

Try to single out the code that may be causing it.

[aldinator]

ok....its the odmenus thats doing it

[Hack]

Have you put a STOP at the start of the routine, and "walked" through it?

[aldinator]

ok - i just got it - i wasn't putting the stopodmenus at all parts in which it could close (like the end button)

thanks everyone - by probs solved



does anyone know why it does this though

[DiGiTaIErRoR]

VB is anal.

If you are using subclassing then hitting the VB's Stop button will also cause an error. Infact the only way to exit properly is to
close the subclass in the form_unload event.

A good tutorial about subclassing can be found
