window close button by zogo on 02-11-2008 at 01:41 PM

can you script a window without a close button but can be closed by different code and if so what are the codes??????

Well, basically you can hide a Plus window's close button by using code like this:

code:
<Window Id="WndSomeWindow" Version="1">
<TitleBar>
<AllowClose>false</AllowClose>
</TitleBar>
...
</Window>

This will hide the [Image: 214126d.png]

sign.

However, you can always use scripted code to close the window, like this:

code:
var wndSomeWindow = MsgPlus.CreateWnd("Resources\\wndSomeWindow.xml", "WndSomeWindow");
// do other stuff
// ...
// now we decide it's time to close the window
wndSomeWindow.Close(1);

However, the user can always close the window by pressing Alt+F4 (unless you register a message notification callback function and suppress the window message this way).

You can also close PlusWnds using the Esc button and by setting a seperate button with the Id "BtnCancel" (although I doubt the latter is what you are after)
