Dear expert users,
i have a problem by quitting an application..........
i want to quit by a simple script like this.......:
on CLOSESTACK
answer "Are you sure you want to quit?" with "No" or "YES"
switch it
case "YES"
hide this stack
quit
exit switch
case "NO"
exit closestack
exit switch
end switch
end CLOSESTACK
But if you push "Yes" the app quit perfect ok!!!,If you push "No" the app quit too...why?????
I want that if you push "No" the app don't quit and remain in the same card......
thanks a lot for your help and ideas......

Check the "switch" syntax: it's "break" not "exit switch"
But your problem is that aborting the closeStack messages doesn't stop the quitting process.
You are looking for the "shutdownRequest" message rather.
Code: Select all
on shutdownRequest -- confirm with the user:
answer question "Are you sure you want to quit?" with "Yes" or "No"
if it is "Yes" then pass shutdownRequest -- allow to quit
end shutdownRequest

As I said previously, trapping the closeStack Message doesn't change anything. And even if it did, it wouldn't work in the case of your script, since you don't pass it on in the "No" case. By the way, it's useless to have a case in a switch structure with no statements. Speaking of scripts, could you please enclose your scripts in "
Code: Select all
" tags ? It's the little button at the top of the field used to write your post.
If you want a user confirmation when using the close window button and not only when the application quits, use the closeStackRequest message.
[code]
on closeStackRequest
answer "Are you sure?" with "No" or "Yes"
if it is "Yes" then pass closeStackRequest
end closeStackRequest
