stop close window

jiy · ‎Sep 09, 2006

Adepters,

I want to re-confirm when user close a window using X
button. I add winQuitCallback function to my window. In this function I
ask user if he want to close window or not. If user chooses yes then I
close window. Otherwise this window should not be closed. But it seams
that nomatter I return 0 or -1, the window always is closed. Can anybody
show me how to stop window close?

Thanks,

Yan

Yan, The best I can tell you on this one is to go back about three or four years ago in the archive. Look for posts by Paul Klock on this topic (or closing using the ‘x’ button). As I recall, there is a way to do this, but it is some fairly serious work. The ‘x’ in the Window is not controlled by Epic, but by the OS and thus you need to capture that action for the callback to function.

Back three or four years ago, was Epic using the old Galaxy
interface or the current Windoze interface? Things might be different now,
witha differentversion of Epic/Arbortext
Editor.

Ed,

As I recall from the thread back then, for the Windoze 'x' it was the
Macro$carf interface. This is one of those pieces of the window that is
OS and not application run. There may be some leeway in what appears in
the title bar, but not much. Changing the icon for the window drop down,
a unique window title and the number of buttons at the right. Even the
'window_create' function does not allow me to change things in the title
bar.

Try this:

package myQuit

function window_quit_callback (win, code) {
response("win is $win, code is $code");
$res = response("quit", "yes", "no");
if ($res == 2) {
return -1
}
return 0
}

function session_quit_callback (code) {
response("code is $code");
$res = response("quit", "yes", "no");
if ($res == 2) {
return -1
}
return 0
}

window_set(current_window(), 'quitCallback',
'myQuit::window_quit_callback');
session_add_callback('quit', 'myQuit::session_quit_callback');

The window_quit_callback takes care of non-primary epic windows, and the
session_quit_callback takes care of the primary window.
