exit() [1/2]

static void xtd::forms::application::exit ( )

static

Informs all message pumps that they must terminate, and then closes all application windows after the messages have been processed.

Remarks

The exit method stops all running message loops on all threads and closes all windows of the application. This method does not necessarily force the application to exit. The exit method is typically called from within a message loop, and forces Run to return. To exit a message loop for the current thread only, call exit_thread.

Exit raises the following events and performs the associated conditional actions:

• A form_closing event is raised for every form represented by the open_forms property. This event can be canceled by setting the cancel property of their form_closing_event_args parameter to true.
• If one of more of the handlers cancels the event, then exit returns without further action. Otherwise, a form_closed event is raised for every open form, then all running message loops and forms are closed.
