Do you want to save changes is gone [message #661113]

Hi, guys.
New aroud here.
I've been looking a lot but couldn't find an answer for my question.

Usually when form_status is changed, or at least it was in the past, before doing a when-window-closed, a dialog would pop up asking to save changes if they were made.
This dialog is gone and there is no way I can figure out why a changed form doesn't trigger this message. What's wrong?

BR, Andis

What version are you using?
How many datablocks do you have and are they based on database objects?
What is the block status of the blocks when you exit?

Block status is changed.
There are multiple datablocks and I've changed a blocks item that is a db item to get the status - changed.
This is really weird in my humble opinion.

Our team uses Forms 6.

Is it just that one form that has the problem?
When did it last work?

This also affects other forms.
My findings indicate that when an inbuilt oracle forms procedure windows_closed that checks the stack and exits form if it's the base, uses exit_form(no_validate), is this really how it should be? Because when changing it to do_key('exit_form'), dialog is present.

I can't find any built-in called windows_closed, are you sure that's the right name?
Have you written code that calls this built-in?
If so what trigger(s) are you calling it from?

Are you sure?

It's window_closed and we call it from when-window-closed trigger.
Sorry for the mistake in the previous message.

BEGIN	
	IF :system.current_block = 'KALK_LIN' THEN --MBT-7853 RKU
	  Go_Item('SHIP_KALK_CANCEL');	  
    Execute_Trigger('WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED');
		window_closed;		
	ELSE
   window_closed;
	END IF;
END;

Its pretty simple. If I do: do_key('exit_form') then the message is shown. I've found countless of topics with assistance needed to get rid of the message, but our users say that the message is missing if form is closed with a cross when form_status is changed.

Okay, turns out this isn't inbuilt. Those are our own libraries we used, I'm just new to the project.
Anyway, what's the most used thing in the when-window-closed?

I've been using forms for 20 years. I have never used the WHEN-WINDOW-CLOSED trigger.

If you want the prompt to save changes then simply do EXIT_FORM;

As Joy says, the most used thing in when-window-closed is nothing.
If you delete the trigger the prompt should come back.
