exit(0) does not call closeEvent

[ricardo]

Hi friends!

When the user closes my app (pressing window X), closeEvent tests if you want to save document, but if user uses menus, my code calls exit(0) but closeEvent is not called!

Do you know how I should close my app from menus in order to call closeEvent before exiting?

Thanks a lot for your help.

use QCoreApplication::quit()/QCoreApplication::exit() instead of exit(0).

use QCoreApplication::quit()/QCoreApplication::exit() instead of exit(0).

None of them work, both bypass closeEvent. But I realised close() is what I was looking for.

Thanks anyway.

Right, my brain... sorry.

just connect your exit action triggered() signal with main window's close() slot. You can even do it with Designer.
