Function

Summary

Closes the top level interface containing a specified pane.

Package

capi

Signature

quit-interface pane &key force => result

Arguments

pane

A CAPI element.

force

A boolean. The default value is nil .

Values

result

t if the interface was closed, nil otherwise.

Description

The function quit-interface closes the top level interface containing pane , but first it verifies that it is okay to do this by calling the interface's confirm-destroy-function . If it is OK to close the interface, it then calls destroy to do so. If force is true, then neither the confirm-destroy-function or the destroy-callback are called, and the window is just closed immediately.

Note: quit-interface must only be called in the process of the top level interface of pane . Menu callbacks on that interface will be called in that process, but otherwise you probably need to use execute-with-interface or apply-in-pane-process.

Example

Here are two examples demonstrating the use of quit-interface with the destroy-callback and the confirm-destroy-function .

(setq interface (capi:display

                 (make-instance

                  'capi:interface

                  :title "Test Interface"

                  :destroy-callback

                  #'(lambda (interface)

                      (capi:display-message

                       "Quitting ~S" interface)))))

(capi:apply-in-pane-process

 interface 'capi:quit-interface interface)

With this second example, the user is prompted as to whether or not to quit the interface.

(setq interface (capi:display

                 (make-instance

                  'capi:interface

                  :title "Test Interface"

                  :confirm-destroy-function

                  #'(lambda (interface)

                      (capi:confirm-yes-or-no

                       "Really quit ~S"

                       interface)))))

(capi:apply-in-pane-process

 interface 'capi:quit-interface interface)
