Hi Nicolas,  

Here is the proper way to do it:

void CloseWindow()
{

   printf("Quitting by user request\n");    gApplication->Terminate(0);
}

void nocrash()
{

   TGMainFrame *mf = new TGMainFrame (gClient->GetRoot(), 700, 200);    mf->SetCleanup(kDeepCleanup);
   TGTextView* cond = new TGTextView(mf);    mf->AddFrame(cond, new TGLayoutHints(kLHintsExpandX | kLHintsExpandY));

   mf->MapSubwindows();
   mf->MapWindow();
   mf->MoveResize(900, 600, 300, 300);

   cond->GetCanvas()->Connect("Destroyed()", NULL, NULL, "CloseWindow()");

   TCanvas* c1 = new TCanvas();
   c1->Connect("Closed()", NULL, NULL, "CloseWindow()"); }

i.e. you cannot (or must not) use new TGTextView(gClient->GetRoot()); you need a proper container (a TGCompositeFrame) gClient->GetRoot() returns a pointer on the root (desktop) window...

Cheers, Bertrand.

Hi,

here is the example:

crash.C:

---

void CloseWindow(){
  printf("Quitting by user request\n");
  gApplication->Terminate(0);
}

void crash(){
  TGTextView* cond=new TGTextView(gClient->GetRoot());

  cond->MapSubwindows();
  cond->MapWindow();
  cond->MoveResize(900,600,300,300);
  cond->GetCanvas()->Connect("Destroyed()",NULL,NULL,"CloseWindow()");

  TCanvas* c1=new TCanvas();
  c1->Connect("Closed()",NULL,NULL,"CloseWindow()"); }

---

session where the canvas was closed in clicking the window close on the c1 canvas. Everything is nice and smooth.
