Hi,

Does anyone give me some suggestion?
When I close the form, but some process is still running.I don't know how to handle this kind of situation. What I want to do is that stop all processes first and then close form automatically.

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    
    'Do process 1
    Call sleep(10)
    
    'Do process 2
    Call sleep(10)

End Sub
Private Sub sleep(ByVal slp As Double)
    Dim start
    
    start = Timer
    
    Do While (Timer < (slp + start)) 
        DoEvents
    Loop
End Sub

I don't understand what the relevance about your question and your posting code, but i still to answer it.

If you want to close all form and end the program then you can use END .
Unload Me just close the current form not the entire program. So any hidden form can still running.

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Unload Me
End Sub

When you use End Statement it will close all entire form, Hidden or not hidden. so any process will turning off.

Private Sub Command2_Click()
End
End Sub

Hi Jx Man,

sorry for my question is not clear. The following is my flow.

-Click buttom1
-valve one is ON.
-Delay 10 seconds
-valve one is OFF

When the user close "form" when the system is doing delay process loop, I would like to exit "Delay" loop, close "valve". Finally, the system close "Form".

I don't want to use "End" when the form is "Unload me" because the "valve" is already opened.

hi zawpai,,this thread already solved or not?

In the Unload event of the form set the valve to Close then use End to terminate the program.

Hi ChrisPadgham,

Thanks for your information.

dnk,

I solve it. I use one additional timer to check whether Unload event is trigger or not. I didn't use "End" command to close the application because we have another form is running in our whole system. I am not sure my method is correct or not. This is my sample code.

Dim Close_frm As Boolean, Start_Dis As Boolean
Dim Valve1 As Boolean, Valve2 As Boolean

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Start_Dis = True
    
    Label1.Caption = "Open Valve 1"
    Valve1 = True

    Call sleep(4)
    
    If (Start_Dis = True) Then
        Label2.Caption = "Open Valve 2"
        Valve2 = True
    End If
    
End Sub

Private Sub sleep(ByVal slp As Double)
    Dim start
    
    start = Timer
    
    Do While ((Timer < (slp + start)))
        DoEvents
        If (Start_Dis = False) Then
            Exit Do
        End If
    Loop
End Sub

Private Sub Close_Both_Valves()
    Label1.Caption = "Close Valve 1"
    Label2.Caption = "Close Valve 2"
    Valve1 = False
    Valve2 = False
End Sub

Private Sub Form_QueryUnload(Cancel As Integer, UnloadMode As Integer)
    
    If (Start_Dis = True) Then
        Close_frm = True
        Cancel = 1
        Exit Sub
    Else
        Unload Me
    End If
    
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer)
    If (Valve1 = True) Or (Valve2 = True) Or (Start_Dis = True) Then
        Timer1.Enabled = False
        Close_Both_Valves
    End If
End Sub

Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
    Timer1.Enabled = False
    
   If (Close_frm = True) Then
        If (Start_Dis = True) Then
            Start_Dis = False
        Else
            Unload Me
            Exit Sub
        End If
    End If
    
    Timer1.Enabled = True
End Sub
