How can I make my program break out of the loop when the user presses the X?

Sub-class the window, and in the sub-classed messaging loop, put in code at either WM_CLOSE or WM_DESTROY

AtomZ - its got an A. Its got a Z. Now its just needs U

I might be missing something here but doesn`t LoopSDK () enable that? That`s why you have to have it in the loop. Or at least I thought so.

Should work. Of cause if GameLobby contains the loop then it won`t. In which case you might need to change things a bit. LoopSDK needs to be in the main loop. It isn`t a loop itself.

Nope, it just froze my computer when I tried closing it both with the X and escape.

Strange. Is the main loop in GameLobby();? Just guessing as you haven`t got dbSync in main.

}

No, thats totally incorrect - LoopSDK is a function, not a variable...

AtomZ - its got an A. Its got a Z. Now its just needs U

This works for me (talking about loopsdk not window closing)

while (LoopSDK()){

if (dbEscapeKey()){
break;
}

etc blah blah yak yak

}

Try this instead :



You need to make sure LoopSDK() is called to close windows with the X
