Board index » Visual Studio » End Program ends VB

Visual Studio334
Suddenly when I run a program in IDE, then press the End button on the task

bar it not only "End" the program execution, but ends VB itself, returning

me to Windows. This just started yesterday. Is there some setting from

within the IDE that I could have triggered that would cause this?



Thanks.

No such setting. Most likely, you've modified your program and now

terminating it abnormally is causing problems.



Basically, just don't end your program that way. End it "normally".

Clicking the End toolbar button is the same as using the End statement in

code and has the same (or worse) consequences.



You might even want to remove the End toolbar button. I'd leave it on the

Run menu though JUST IN CASE you get into a spot where you MUST end your app

this way.

I've been pushing that end button for years and am still yet to see any of

these consequences you talk about. VB is very good at cleaning up open

resources when the end button is pushed.



Marv,



If you can't use the end button something is wrong and needs to be fixed. As

Dmitriy said it's possible you're using some advanced techniques such as

subclassing.

You are on the right track. This only occurs in one program. I recently

added a class that allows expanded tool tips to the program, although it is

one I have used in other programs, and in thinking back it did start to

occur after that. I didn't connect the two things. I'll need to remove

this class and see if it still occurs.



Thanks all for the input.

It is possible to subclass and push the end button without crashes as long

as the subclassing code is in a seperate compiled ocx or dll. You can even

push the end button inside the callbacks without problems.

You could use IsInIDE function below to test if your program is running from

the IDE and disable subclassing in case you are done with it and want to

work with other areas in the program:



vbnet.mvps.org/code/core/isinide.htm">vbnet.mvps.org/code/core/isinide.htm

Run some demo that uses subclassing from a bas module, then hit end when

subclassed. Boom.

I use extensive subclassing in almost every form of my app and get no

problems at all. The subclassing code is compiled into an ocx. Because of

this subclassing directly in the exe is a *really* bad idea.
