The following is from the mini-Delphi course at about.com. I am unable
to figure out how to use the FormClose procedure that is included. The
CloseAll menu item minimizes forms. The lesson says that the FormClose
procedure is needed to close forms but I don't know how to include this
procedure.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

unit Main;

interface

Windows, Messages, SysUtils, Variants, Classes, Graphics, Controls,
Forms,
Dialogs, Child, Menus;

TMainFr = class(TForm)
MainMenu1: TMainMenu;
F1: TMenuItem;
NewChild: TMenuItem;

procedure CloseAllClick(Sender: TObject);

procedure ArrangeAllClick(Sender: TObject);
private

procedure CreateChildForm (const childName : string);
procedure FormClose (Sender: TObject; var Action: TCloseAction);

public

end;

var
MainFr: TMainFr;

implementation

procedure TMainFr.CreateChildForm

Child.Caption := childName;
end;

procedure TMainFr.FormClose

begin
Action := caFree;
end;

procedure TMainFr.NewChildClick(Sender: TObject);
begin
CreateChildForm('Child '+IntToStr(MDIChildCount+1));
end;

procedure TMainFr.CloseAllClick(Sender: TObject);
var i: integer;
begin
for i:= 0 to MdiChildCount - 1 do MDIChildren[i].Close;
end;

procedure TMainFr.CascadeOptionClick(Sender: TObject);
begin
Cascade;
end;

procedure TMainFr.TileOptionClick(Sender: TObject);
begin
Tile;
end;

procedure TMainFr.ArrangeAllClick(Sender: TObject);
begin
ArrangeIcons;
end;

end.
