I'm not sure I understand what you are asking but if the app you created is not responding you can always go to the Apple menu and use 'Force Quit".

Use the predefined constant #pb_menu_quit

Yeah, good thought Polo,
'-pre defined constants of #PB_Menu_About, #PB_Menu_Preferences,#PB_Menu_Quit'

hello guys,
i couldn't find a solution yet. here a better description:
think the application's name is "my_app". if you start my_app, you get it's menu at the top of the screen, beside the apple-logo.
if you click on the my_app-name, it pulls out a popup-menu. at the bottom of the popup-menu there is a entry called "Quit...". if you click on it, the my_app should end, but don't.
a second method is, if you click longer then one second on the my_app-icon in the dock. a popup-menu also pulls out. also there you can click on a option called "Quit" to quit the application.
i am using a german surface, therefore i am not sure, if the option is called "Quit" or "Close" in the english original.
the #pb_event_closewindow is normally used in code to finish the application. if you click on the red colored close-button of the window itself, the app finishs. if i try one of the described ways above, it doesn't works. i have no idea, why...
i need help
please help

Ok, I see what you are saying. You may have already figured it out but...something like this.
[edit] It looks like I asked this same question 4 years ago.
http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtop ... 19&t=34046
Code: Select all
If OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 230, 90, "Event handling example...", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
If CreateMenu(0, WindowID(0))
MenuTitle("File")
MenuItem(1, "One")
MenuItem(2, "Two")
MenuItem(#PB_Menu_Quit, "Quit")
EndIf
Repeat
Event = WaitWindowEvent()
Select Event
Case #PB_Event_Menu
MenuID=EventMenu() : Debug MenuID
Select MenuID
Case #PB_Menu_Quit
End
EndSelect
EndSelect
Until Event = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
EndIf
