Resetting VFP

[Gene Wirchenko]

Hello:

Sometimes, the coding is a breeze, and sometimes, it is not.

Suppose, because of bugs, incomplete functionality, etc., you
have just hung up VFP.

Is there a way to reset VFP? Something that always works?

I know I can abort it and then restart it, but I have had to do
so dozens of times. The thrill palls.

Sincerely,

Gene Wirchenko

I use this:

DECLARE ExitProcess IN kernel32 INTEGER uExitCode
ExitProcess(0)

Put this code in your personal menu (that you attach to VFP), and/or as a
procedure in your app to exit the program.

This calls a Windows API that kills the VFP instance and closes all files.
It never fails.
In my personal menu I have an option called EMERGENCY EXIT.

When I click on it the VFP instance just dies and memory is clean

I meant hung up, when VFP is not accepting command input.

For that, I just use TaskManager and kill it.

Depending on the kind of hang, killing VFP with task manager should
suffice, but if in the process of hanging you add a bad programming
practices, bad or no garbage collection, bad use of PC resources and
intermitent hangings that can corrupt RAM, then power off/on is the final
solution.

We have a legacy application on Production, with +20 years of bad
modifications that slowly consumes Server resources and do not restore
them, even if restarting the app, so every week we need to reset de Server
:-(
