Generic Function

Summary

Closes a window and calls the destroy-callback .

Package

capi

Signature

destroy interface

Description

The generic function destroy closes the window associated with interface , and then calls the interface's destroy-callback if it has one.

There is a complementary function quit-interface which calls the interface's confirm-destroy-function to confirm that the destroy should be done, and it is advisable to always use this unless you want to make sure that the interface's confirm-destroy-function is ignored.

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

Example

(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:destroy interface)
