Generic Function

Summary

The generic function destroy closes the window associated with an interface and then calls the interface's destroy-callback .

Syntax

destroy interface

Description

This 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.

Example

(setq interface

      (capi:display (make-instance

                     'capi:interface

                     :title "Test Interface"

                     :destroy-callback

                       #'(lambda (interface)

                           (capi:display-message

                             "Quitting ~S"

                              interface)))))

(capi:destroy interface)
