Disabling the Close dailog button

[Martin Hodder]

Hi Everyone,

 

I hope you have had a good weekend!

 

In the dim and distant past I thought there was a method for disabling or hiding the “X” in the top right of a user created dialog, but I can’t find anything. There is a AlterMapinfoDialog but I am not sure if it will work on a user dialog and I have to get the ID of the dialog in any case.

 

Does anyone know if there is a function to do that or will I have to use the API in some way?

 

Many thanks

 

Regards

Martin,

Was the trick to not include a title for the dialog?

But I think the user could still cancel the dialog using ESC or similar. At least I seem to recall some pitfalls.

Why do you want to omit the X on the dialog?

Hi Peter,

 

Thanks for replying.

 

There is something odd when the user uses the “X” in v2021 It seems to execute code after

 

If CommandInfo (CMD_INFO_DLG_OK) then

 

                ‘Code here is executed here even with the above statement’

 

End if

 

When the “X” should be cancel. It is really difficult to replicate it but I have had a user that it has happen to twice.

 

I thought it was easier to disable the “X” like you can on Map and other windows.

 

I will try a test program on some of the MI versions to see if I can replicate the issue.

 

 

Regards
