Run Time Menu - panel close event

[sirwin]

Hi All,

I have a quick question about the behaviour of run time menus:

I have a event structure setup to detect the Panel Close? event to handle some shutdown code before my App exits. I am wondering which of the run time menu selections triggers a Panel Close? event. I know that clicking the red "x" will trigger it, but I also want to include a "File -> Exit" option.

What is the difference between the Close and Exit items in the run time menu? Do they both trigger Panel Close? events?

Thanks!

File-> Exit is a labview instance exit, it says "it will abort running vi-s". It does not matter, in which VI you select this item. Very similar to red abort circle. Does not trigger Panel close event.

File-> close, Ctrl+W, Alt+F4, red cross - close current window, all trigger "Panel close?" event
