STARTVIEW and Programming - Eddie W. Shore - 04-06-2021 12:17 AM
Does STARTVIEW automatically terminate a program? If it does, the user will not be able to solve an equation and stay in a program.
I received an email asking me advice for an equation library.
Example:
Code:
EXPORT sampleprgm()
LOCAL mh, ch, d;
mh:=2; // after each calculation ask the user if they want to exit the program (1. yes, 2. no)
WHILE mh==2 DO
// main menu
CHOOSE(ch,"title",list of choices);
// one of the menu choices
IF ch==1 THEN
CHOOSE(d,"title",list of choices_submenu);
IF d==1 THEN
calculations and commands here
[b]STARTVIEW(2,1)[/b]
CHOOSE(mh,"Quit?",{"Yes","No"});
END; // end submenu choice (d)
END; // end main menu choice (ch)
...
END; // end the while loopRE: STARTVIEW and Programming - roadrunner - 04-07-2021 12:26 AM
It seems it does not:
PHP Code:
EXPORT teststartview()
BEGIN
MSGBOX("before startview");
STARTVIEW(2);
MSGBOX("after startview");
END;

It leaves the startview as it's final destination.
Check this code out:
Code:
EXPORT teststartview2()
BEGIN
MSGBOX("before startview");
STARTVIEW(2);
MSGBOX("after startview");
INPUT(A);
B:=A+1;
PRINT("B = "+STRING(B));
END;RE: STARTVIEW and Programming - C.Ret - 04-07-2021 07:36 PM
Hello,
I see nothing special here, all seem to act as expected !?
If you want to terminate your code at the HOME or CAS view, you just have to specify it:
Code:
EXPORT teststartview2()
BEGIN
MSGBOX("before startview");
STARTVIEW(2); // Activate the Numeric View (exact display depending of the curent Application )
MSGBOX("after startview");
INPUT(A);
B:=A+1;
PRINT("B = "+STRING(B));
STARTVIEW(-1) // Activate the HOME or CAS view just before the end of code
END;See the inline ?-Help key for the different available views (specific to the current Application, user customized or global).
