How to exit!!!!!

[v divya]

Hi all.. In my form I have added a menu using

f.menu = [u"Exit",exit]

When I click on this "Exit" I should go back to my previous screen(here it is a listbox). In other words my exit() should come out of my form once clicked..

How to get this done? Waiting for ur quick replies

[u"Exit",function]

Call your function by the above statement. When exit is chosen, the function would be executed rather than the exit function.

Thus you can use it to go back.

You cannot have a statement in the function that would just make your code go backwards, sorry. But encapsulate the UI in one or many functions and call any one of which you want to navigate to, when you press exit.

hello divya

really sorry but not getting you exactly. I guess you want to go back when you press exit so just make a callback of that function which you are using previously.

It will be great if you have a look at the following articles before going to make your menu:

Basic PyS60 application: part1
Basic PyS60 application: part2

hope this articles help you.

Just completing the other answers, if you are running an standlone application, you may exit using this:

appuifw.app.set_exit()

So, basically the code snippet for doing what you want is:

import appuifw

def exit_function():
    app_lock.signal()
    appuifw.app.set_exit # optional

appuifw.app.menu = [u"Exit", exit_function]

app_lock = e32.Ao_lock()
app_lock.wait()

Hope it helps,

Rafael.
