[2005] Trust me...I looked...Issue with program shutdown

[mitchelk]

Im coding a simple program to assist in the job functions at my workplace. So far so good. No problems except, Its not shutting down unless its on the Startup Form. I've changed in the properties to be either "Shutdown on Startup form" and to "Shutdown on last form"

How do I get this to shutdown no matter WHEN they hit the X in the top right?

Looking at your previous post the reason is that the forms are not actually closing. You are just hiding the forms. So when you set the project property to Shutdown on Startup form, only when the first form is closed will it shut down. When you set it to last form, it is waiting for all those hidden forms to close. If you are just hiding the forms, then in each form's Closed event add this line of code, and it should work

Application.Exit

In the coding window there are to comboboxes at the top. The left one you select the control, in this case it will be formevents. In the right one it lists all the events for that control. Select either Closed or CLosing. Untitled is the left combobox, untitled1 is the right combobox.

Heh, I feel stupid. I actually just changed me.hide to me.close

Works like a charm. Also, quick question, how to I get a linklabel to link out to a browser webpage?

Well for the event handler for the click event of the link label just have it say

Process.start("http://www.google.com")

Or whatever URL you need.
