System Menu of toplevel window - Windows XP, 7, ...

[JMar...@comcast.net]

Is it possible to disable options on the system menu of a toplevel window in Windows? Is so, how?

Thanks in advance!

Do you want to display *specfic* options or all options?

Certain options are (effectively) disabled by certain wm commands applied to
the toplevel:

wm protocol .sometoplevel WM_DELETE_WINDOW {}

disables the 'delete window' function

wm resizable .sometoplevel no no

disables the 'maximize' function

wm transient .sometoplevel .someothertoplevel

disables the 'iconify / minimize' function

It is also possible to *add* additional items to the System menu: see the
documentation for menu (look at the section labeled 'MENUBARS').
