I have an external that would need to do some operations when Max is shutting down, or when a patcher gets closed. Is there such a function to register to? I couldn't find anything in the API documentation.

Thank you very much

OK, thanks. Is there a function for Max's shutting down aswell, instead of just the patcher closing?

in max, closing can be done programatically with a message to max ("quit").

but i dont know how you would _listen for the runtime to close - and therefore i also doubt that externals can listen to that.

not sure if this is relevant but there is [freebang], which i think works when you close a standalone parent window

Alright, thanks for the suggestions. Does someone @Cycling'74 know more about this?

Your external can install a "quittask". The "threadpooltask.c" file in the SDK does this.

Thank you so much, that is exactly what I was looking for!
