}

// NewApp creates a new App application struct
func NewApp() *App {
	return &App{}
}

// startup is called when the app starts. The context is saved
// so we can call the runtime methods
func (a *App) startup(ctx context.Context) {
	a.ctx = ctx
	time.Sleep(10 * time.Second)
	// https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/wailsapp/wails/[email protected]/pkg/runtime#Quit

Do you mean when you are holding and moving the window titlebar?

[educator-art]

Thank you for your comment.
Yes, the application doesn't quit while the window title bar is being held, and it also doesn't quit after releasing it.
"Moving" occurred when I tried to stop the recording. Sorry for the confusion.

By displaying a dialog box before closing the application, the cursor was moved away from the title bar.
It's not the best solution, but it resolves the problem.

package main

import (
	"context"
	"fmt"
	"time"

	// https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/wailsapp/wails/[email protected]/pkg/runtime#Quit
	runtime "github.com/wailsapp/wails/v2/pkg/runtime"
)

// App struct
type App struct {
	ctx context.Context
}

// NewApp creates a new App application struct
func NewApp() *App {
	return &App{}
}

// startup is called when the app starts. The context is saved
// so we can call the runtime methods
func (a *App) startup(ctx context.Context) {
	a.ctx = ctx
	time.Sleep(10 * time.Second)
	// https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/wailsapp/wails/[email protected]/pkg/runtime#Quit

	// Cannot quit when clicking and holding down on the window header. (windows11) (wails v2.10.1)

	// 2025.05.17
	// (Alternative Plan)
	// Add a dialog box before the app exits.
	//  When the dialog box is displayed, the cursor moves away from the title bar
	ShowMessageDialog(a.ctx)
	// The application has closed.
	runtime.Quit(a.ctx)
}

// Greet returns a greeting for the given name
func (a *App) Greet(name string) string {
	return fmt.Sprintf("Hello %s, It's show time!", name)
}

func ShowMessageDialog(ctx context.Context) {

	runtime.MessageDialog(ctx, runtime.MessageDialogOptions{
		Type:          "info",
		Title:         "information",
		Message:       "The app will quit after the OK button is clicked.",
		Buttons:       []string{"OK"}, 
		DefaultButton: "OK",
	})

}
