[Gambas-user] Circular references?

[Richard]

Yes Benoit, I used the "Exit" button on the program's form (as usual). Its 
action routine looks like this:

PUBLIC SUB ExitButton_Click()
DIM timerstore AS Stream
DIM n AS Integer

    TRY timerstore = OPEN "~/.recordstore" FOR OUTPUT CREATE 
    IF NOT ERROR THEN 
        PRINT #timerstore, "$Start_Time,$BaseName,$PathName,$DurationT,
$PartdurationT,$Multipart,";
        PRINT #timerstore, "$AlsaDev,$Src_Mode_Stereo,$Dst_Mode_Stereo,
$BitRate,$Compression"
        FOR n = 0 TO MAXTIMERNUM
            Recordings[CStr(n)].PrintRecord(timerstore)
        NEXT 
    ENDIF
    
    'It is not clear that a FLUSH is necessary, but it can do no harm
    FLUSH #timerstore   
    CLOSE #timerstore
    
    'Make sure that any pending recording will be cancelled
    RECFLAG = FALSE
    QUITEVENT = TRUE
    TIMERTOGEVENT = FALSE
    STOPEVENT = FALSE
        
    'Make sure that the Timer doesn't trigger an event (Do I have to? Better 
safe than sorry)
    Timer1.Enabled = FALSE
    
    ME.CLOSE 

END

Although the above code has been complicated by elements introduced to make 
the "Exit" button work when it is clicked while another event handler is 
running (ie, the event is detected while an event handler is calling WAIT in 
a delay loop), yet the Circular Reference warning occurs if I just start and 
then stop the program without activating the delay loop or operate any other 
control.
