[Solved] Disable Windows-Icons (top right corner of program window)

Hello everybody!

I am currently working on a windows (desktop)-based program and would like to disable the icons on the top right corner (minimize, maximize, close).
The problem is: As soon as somebody clicks "close", the (e.g. form1.close)-Sub gets called by B4PPC automatically and I don't know how I could abort the Closing of the Form/Application at that moment...

So my question is:
How can I disable the "close"-icon or at least "ignore" it, if somebody clicks it?

Thanks a lot in advance,

best regards,

Christian

The method Form1.CancelClose would seem to be made for this purpose but I don't know if it will stop Windows closing the desktop window...

Hey Mike!

Thanks a LOT for your reply...

Well I think I was already so confused with this problem that I didn't see the obvious :BangHead:

Thanks again, now it works like I wanted it to

Best regards,

You could also use the Door Library to give you a bit more control.

For a desktop only app you should check out http://www.b4x.com/forum/additional...desktop-v2-0-basic4ppc-v6-90-a.html#post33819 which exposes this functionality, and more!

Thanks a lot for that hint and the Demo-Program!! :sign0060:
Update: Agraham, thanks also to you, I will have a look at once

That really looks good, I think I will use these new possibilities

Best regards,

Chris

Hello.
I was expecting something of the ControlBox.sbp in this thread.

May I know where to get a list properties that are not the subset supported by Basic4ppc? Like "MinimizeBox","True".And how to handle them?

You can find the details of a .NET Control by Googling for it and picking the MSDN link that usually comes up or by browsing the .NET Development itself .NET Development. From the list on the left click ".NET Framework 2.0" then "Class Library Reference" then "System.Windows.Forms" then the controls then its members. Functions available in the Compact Framework have a little device icon by them.

Than you very much.
I've found it.
