RJE Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I have done this twice now and the computer gets really cranky. Without the details is there a way to disable the top right close program button so that it forces you to go File/Exit? RJE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzeoTech Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Only by running in Full screen mode. You can force DF into full screen mode at startup by adding a -f to the shortcut, but then you won't be able to get out of full screen mode. BTW: you can also create a button on your page that quits DAQFactory. Just give it a quick sequence action with this line: system.quit() Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybdjuk Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Maybe something to include in the next release. Potentially a lot of data could be lost with one accidental click. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzeoTech Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Sure, please post to the "request list" forum. What do you mean by data loss? You system should be designed so that data is always saved immediately. You can also use the OnQuit event to do any sort of shut down procedures you need.

RJE Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 That's what I need, OnQuit. I have a sequence that polls a serial device over USB with a serial/USB driver. I know, I know it's not the right way to do it but its all I got right now until I get my SeaLevel unit up and running. If I don't stop that sequence before quiting DaqFactory things go awol, DaqFactory still stays running and I can't stop it in Task Manager. Trying to restart DF says it is already running and not meant to run two of them. If I proceed I can't get my sequences to start, errors start flying, the USB/serial driver goes crazy and things all come down in a flaming mass of molten metal and charred circuitry. Well not that bad! For home use I'm not writing bullet proof code and I'm still fairly green with DaqFactory but will try the OnQuit to see if it helps.

AzeoTech Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I rest my case on serial/USB converters You can probably stop it in Task Manager from the processes tab. I never use the application tab because it won't shut everything down hard. The processes tab can do most everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzeoTech Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 A customer posted another solution on the request forum that I completely forgot about (thanks BeeHay). Please see: http://www.azeotech.com/board/index.php?sh...c=3812&st=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
