FORM_DONE_ESCAPE

FORM_DONE_ESCAPE is a defined value for the nData variable in a form done event to indicate the form was exited by means of the ESCAPE key

Example

EVENT(InputDone) 
{
   if(nData == FORM_DONE_ESCAPE || nData == FORM_DONE_LEFT_ARROW)
   {
      if(pForm->IsChanged() == true) 
      {
         if(WaitPrompt(LANG(STR_SAVE_CHANGES), LANG(STR_YES), LANG(STR_NO)) == true) 
         {
            IN_EVENT_WRITE_DATA;
         }
      }
   }
   return 1;
}

This example shows preventing the application from being exited by using the left arrow. It also illustrates that the application may be prevented from exiting based on a status such as if a filling event is in process.

EVENT(MainScreenDone)
{
   if(nData != FORM_DONE_ESCAPE)
   {
      ShowErrorMsg("SHIFT-ESCAPE to exit application");
      return 0;
   }

   if(mode != modeIdle)
   {
      ShowErrorMsg("Cannot exit while running");
      return 0;
   }
   return 1;
}
