Different ways to close a window

wxPython Users

I have some cleanup code that I would like to run before my application is
closed down. I have it implemented when the window is closed from my file
menu, but I don't know how to implement it when someone chooses the X in
the upper right corner of the window to close it (is there a name for
this?). Is there a way to catch that click and do perform some functions
before it closes the window?

Bind the EVT_CLOSE event to the code you want to run before closing:

class MyApp:
    def __init__(self):
        ...
        EVT_CLOSE(self, self.OnClose)

    def OnClose(self, evt):
        # Run this before exiting.
        ...
