What Is AutoClose?

AutoClose is a Session Manager for Clarion applications. When users walk away from their desks with programs open, SQL connections time out, licenses are wasted on idle sessions, and data can be corrupted. AutoClose solves this automatically.

It monitors every open window . Forms, browses, reports . And tracks user activity. After a configurable period of inactivity, AutoClose starts closing windows one by one, giving the user a clear countdown and a chance to cancel. The program never slams shut all at once: each window closes independently, and the user is always in control.

Perfect for terminal services, Citrix, shared workstations, or any SQL-backed Clarion application where abandoned sessions are a data integrity and licensing risk.

Requires NeatMessage to show the countdown and cancellation prompts. If you already own NeatMessage, AutoClose integrates in minutes. If you don't, grab the bundle below and save.

Features

  • * Configurable inactivity delay. Set how long before the program considers itself abandoned . Works per-window, not just application-wide.
  • * Two-stage countdown. First delay triggers a warning; second delay auto-closes if unanswered. The user can cancel at any point.
  • * Window-by-window close. Each window closes independently . Forms first, then browses, then the frame. No abrupt application-wide shutdown.
  • * Integrates with NeatMessage. Shows professional countdown dialogs. If the user doesn't respond in time, the window closes automatically.
  • * 100% source code included. Full Clarion source . Modify and extend as needed.
