System.Exit Function

Exits from the current procedure.

Pascal
procedure Exit;
C++
Exit();

System

In Delphi, the Exit procedure immediately passes control away from the current procedure. If the current procedure is the main program, Exit causes the program to terminate. 

Exit will cause the calling procedure to continue with the statement after the point at which the procedure was called.

Note: Exit passes control away from the current procedure, not merely the current block. But Exit does not violate the flow of control dictated by a try..finally construct; if Exit is called inside the try clause, the finally clause is still executed.
 

Delphi Examples: 

 

{
The following example shows how to complete partial strings
typed into a combo box. The code represents the OnKeyPress
event handler of the combo box, which performs most of the
default keystroke handling before finding a matching list
item and updating the text.
Note:   This OnKeyPress event handler does not deal with the
case when the user types the Delete key. That case must be
caught in the OnKeyDown event handler instead.
Note: Set the TComboBox AutoComplete to false to turn off
default auto completion.
}
procedure TForm1.ComboBox1KeyPress(Sender: TObject; var Key: Char);
var
  Found: boolean;
  i, ct, SelSt: Integer;
  TmpStr: string;
begin
  { first, process the keystroke to obtain the current string }
  { This code requires all items in list to be uppercase}
  if Key in ['a'..'z'] then Dec(Key,32); {Force Uppercase only!}
  ct := (Sender as TComboBox).Items.Count;
  with (Sender as TComboBox) do
  begin
    SelSt := SelStart;
    if (Key = Chr(vk_Back)) and (SelLength <> 0) then
     TmpStr := Copy(Text, 1, SelStart) + Copy(Text, SelLength + SelStart + 1, 255)
    else if Key = Chr(vk_Back) then {SelLength = 0}
     TmpStr := Copy(Text, 1, SelStart-1) + Copy(Text, SelStart + 1,255)
    else {Key in ['A'..'Z', etc]}
     TmpStr := Copy(Text, 1, SelStart) + Key + Copy(Text, SelLength + SelStart + 1, 255);
    if TmpStr = '' then Exit;
    { update SelSt to the current insertion point }
    if (Key = Chr(vk_Back)) and (SelSt > 0) then Dec(SelSt)
    else if Key <> Chr(vk_Back) then Inc(SelSt);
    Key := #0; { indicate that key was handled }
    if SelSt = 0 then
    begin
      Text:= '';
      Exit;
    end;
   {Now that TmpStr is the currently typed string, see if we can locate a match }
    Found := False;
    for i := 1 to ct do
    begin
      if Copy(Items[i - 1], 1, Length(TmpStr)) = TmpStr then
      begin
        Text := Items[i-1]; { update to the match that was found }
        ItemIndex := i-1;
        Found := True;
        Break;
      end;
    end;
    if Found then { select the untyped end of the string }
    begin
      SelStart := SelSt;
      SelLength := Length(Text) - SelSt;
