The Events node (

) is the top node under which you can add
Event nodes to define events. In the
Settings window for this node, you can add the following events:
From the On startup list, select a method that runs before the application window opens. It is therefore not possible to call a plot, for example, or other user-interface related code (for such methods, you can use an
On load event for forms). A possible use is to set up some special settings for the application. To add a local method for this event, click the
Create Local Method button (

).
From the About to shutdown list, select a method that runs before the application closes. You can use it to clear or remove some files, for example. To add a local method for this event, click the
Create Local Method button (

). The method you refer to can return a Boolean. When it does, and the return value is false, the shutdown will be canceled.
