OPEN/CLOSE FORMS ???

Question

HI,
I have one form say A
from which i am calling many forms
say A1,A2,A3... using OPEN_FORM Built In and
on A1,A2,A3 forms there is a exit button
for exiting the same form.
In the same way i want to close ALL
open forms when i press a button logout/exit on
the main form i.e form A .
In this application i given the provision
user can switch from one form to another
so that he can open/close any form at any time.
All i need is to close ALL form at a time
only when he press exit at the MAIN form A.
Any ideas/suggestion?
Early reply is appreciated.

1) F4 or Alt-F4 ?
Alt-F4 is the KEY-EXIT like CTRL-Q. Use this trigger for closing the other forms.
In your button you can easily write
do_key ('exit_form');
=============================================
2) the :global.Auto_Close is easy
main_form:
KEY-EXIT )
:global.Auto_Close := 'TRUE';
go_form ('A');
global.Auto_Close := 'FALSE';
exit_form;
form A:
WHEN-FORM-NAVIGATE )
DEFAULT_VALUE (NULL, 'global.Auto_Close');
IF :global.Auto_Close = 'TRUE' THEN
exit_form;
END IF;
=============================================
3) if main.fmb is your start-form and you open_form A and there you call_form AA - then you have the problem, that you first have to close AA, before you close A
I thought you work only with open_form instead of call_form
try it
