Quit

Quits the application.

Built-in Message handler

Syntax:

quit [<exitCode>]

Examples:

quit 1

if it is "OK" then
  quit
end if

Use the quit command to exit LiveCode (or a standalone application).

Once issued, the quit command triggers a shutdownRequest message. If the shutdownRequest message is not passed then the quit will be blocked (i.e. the program won't close).

If you want to check a condition or ask the user for confirmation before deciding whether to quit, use an if control structure:

on getMeOuttaHere
  answer "Are you sure you want to quit?" with "No way" or "OK"
  if it is "OK" then  
     quit
  end if
end getMeOuttaHere

To force a quit without sending a shutdownRequest message use:

   lock messages 
   quit

Parameters:

• exitCode: The exit status to return to the operating system. If you don't specifyan exitCode, the exit status is 0. The exitCode must be an integer greater than or equal to 0.
