Closing QCoreApplication by clicking X on top right corner

[jmsbc]

Hi,

I have a console application that uses QCoreApplication, and it is executed using exec():

int main()
{
    QCoreApplication qtApp(argc, argv);
 
    MsDbServer server;
    server.start();
 
    return qtApp.exec();
}

int main()
{
    QCoreApplication qtApp(argc, argv);

    MsDbServer server;
    server.start();

    return qtApp.exec();
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

I want to perform some code clean-up when a user clicks on the "X" button on the top right corner of the console application. How can I detect when this window gets closed in this way?

Thanks

What's about QCoreApplication::aboutToQuit()?

What's about QCoreApplication::aboutToQuit()?

I tried connecting that signal but the slot AboutToQuit() doesn't get called (breakpoint doesn't get hit):

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  QCoreApplication qtApp(argc, argv);
  MsDbServer server;
  QObject::connect(&qtApp, SIGNAL(aboutToQuit()), &server, SLOT(AboutToQuit()));
  return qtApp.exec();
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  QCoreApplication qtApp(argc, argv);
  MsDbServer server;
  QObject::connect(&qtApp, SIGNAL(aboutToQuit()), &server, SLOT(AboutToQuit()));
  return qtApp.exec();
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

class MsDbServer : public QObject
{
  Q_OBJECT
 
public slots:
  void AboutToQuit();
}

class MsDbServer : public QObject
{
  Q_OBJECT

public slots:
  void AboutToQuit();
}
