XUI XML Dialog

[jbaklayan]

I am trying to convert my 4.3 .vr files into 5.3 XUI XML files. One of the .vr files was a toolbar with two text boxes anchored to the bottom of the Epic window. I am able to create an XUI XML file with two read only textboxes anchored to the bottom, but do not want the user to have the ability to close the dialog. Is there a way to disable the X (close) button on the top right of the dialog. If not, do I need to somehow make it into a toolbar. Thanks for any help.

If I'm remembering correctly, you can attach a hook or callback that will execute when the "x" is selected, but you can't prevent it from being selected or the XUI from closing. Its behavior is defined at the Windows level ... to modify that you'd have to modify Windows' behavior, not Arbortext's.

Again ... if I'm remembering correctly.

To pursue this line of questioning with lots and lots of Arbortext users, admins, and developers doing this sort of work, join the Adepters mailing list where they hang out 24/7/365. Information on joining that list (as well as pointers to lots of other Arbortext resources) can be found here:

Good luck!
