Remove Close-Button On A Form?
Hello everybody,
how can I remove the close button on a form?
I already now the API-Function 'RemoveMenu'.
But although the function is called remove.. with this function the close button will be only disabled
and not really removed. (it's still visible)
Is there any other function, which really remove the button or at least make it unvisible so that the user
can't see it nor click on it?
Thanks in advance

Remove Workbook Close Button
I am trying to remove the x button from a workbook running in my VB-automated excel application. I used API calls to remove the x button, but it only disappears when the workbook window is minimized. When it is maximized, the x button re-appears in the menu bar. Has anybody had that problem before? Thanks a ton!
Close Window Button
Can anyone tell me how to disable the close window "X" in the top-right of a form. I know that it's possible to disable min and max buttons but can you do the same with the close button?

Coding For The Close Button Of A Window
I'm using VB6 implementing a program which connects to a database. The connection opens when the program start. Everything is alright if the user click the Exit button in my program. However, I wonder if the user click the close window button (the one with a cross on the right top corner), my program cannot close the connection and set the connection to nothing. I want to ask whether I can program the close windown button so that I can drop all the temp table, recordset and connection just before the program ends?
Issue With Close Button In A 2d Gaming Window.
Hello building a small game here and was having issues making a proper close button for in game windows.. I will post a chunk of code and maybe you can fix my issue..
Code:
Case MailboxWindow
With GameWindow.Mailbox
Engine_Render_Grh .SkinGrh, .Screen.X, .Screen.Y, 0, 1, True, GUIColorValue, GUIColorValue, GUIColorValue, GUIColorValue
Engine_Render_Text Font_Default, MailboxListBuffer, .Screen.X + .List.X, .Screen.Y + .List.Y, -1
Engine_Render_Text Font_Default, "Read", .Screen.X + .ReadLbl.X, .Screen.Y + .ReadLbl.Y, -1
Engine_Render_Text Font_Default, "Write", .Screen.X + .WriteLbl.X, .Screen.Y + .WriteLbl.Y, -1
Engine_Render_Text Font_Default, "Delete", .Screen.X + .DeleteLbl.X, .Screen.Y + .DeleteLbl.Y, -1
If SelMessage > 0 Then Engine_Render_Rectangle .Screen.X + .List.X, .Screen.Y + .List.Y + ((SelMessage - 1) * Font_Default.CharHeight), .List.Width, Font_Default.CharHeight, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 2097217280, 2097217280, 2097217280, 2097217280, , False 'ARGB: 125/0/255/0
If Engine_Collision_Rect(MousePos.X, MousePos.Y, 1, 1, .Screen.X + 325, .Screen.Y + 5, 10, 17) Then
If MouseLeftDown > 0 Then
ShowGameWindow(LastClickedWindow) = 0
LastClickedWindow = 0
Exit Sub
End If
End If
End With
Now this is what I added extra in that is in the above code...
Code:
If Engine_Collision_Rect(MousePos.X, MousePos.Y, 1, 1, .Screen.X + 325, .Screen.Y + 5, 10, 17) Then
If MouseLeftDown > 0 Then
ShowGameWindow(LastClickedWindow) = 0
LastClickedWindow = 0
Exit Sub
End If
End If
This where I have issues.. It works fine closes no problem.. But when I click somewhere on the screen and hold down the mouse button right to this X in this window in the main game window it crashes...
So I get a error 9 and debugs goes to this:
Code:
LastClickedWindow = 0
I am a n99b and learning.. If you can give me a snip of code to try or know how to fix the issue that would be great..
Disable Console Window Close Button
Hi Guys,
I can open a console window, does anyone know how to disable the close window button. As if you close the console window the VB program always close too, so if I can disable the button users won't be able to do this by mistake.
Cheers.

Running A Command When The User Clicks The Close Button On The Window (X)
Hi I am sure this is very simple I just can't find it anywhere. How would I go about running the code "End" when the user clicks on the "X" (close button) at the top right of my VB application.
When they hit the X on my child window I need it to close the Exe. I can't do it just on unload because I have another button that unloads the window and I don't want the application to to close with that button. Thanks
I Canceled The Close Button On Child, But Now Mdi Form Won't Close
Ok I set a child window of an MDI form to cancel closing if the close button is pushed, but now my MDI form also will not close.
How do I get it where they can't close a child window from the close button on the child window, but when they click the close button on the MDI form it will close everything ?

How Do I Remove The Close Cross From A Floating Toolbar?
I've created a custom toolbar in excel which I want to have floating.
The thing is I want to be able to stop users from closing/hiding this toolbar.
Have tried to find an onEvent for closing and there doesn't seem to be anything.
Have a handle on the toolbar using the windows user32 library:
lnghwnd = FindWindow(vbNullString, "myToolbar")
but can't find the call which disables the cross.
Any ideas?
Window Handle And Close Window
Hello everybody,
I try to get a handle on a window which is popped up by a special remote library. The programm stops as long as I have pressed the O.K. button on the window. After this I would get the handle, but this is to late. I want to get the handle when the window pops up. I think threads could solve this problem but they don't exist in VB. Has anyone an idea how can I get the handle? I have to start two functions similary but how does it work?
Thanks and greetings, tksvc ;-)
How Do I Remove The 'TOP' Of A Form Window?
I have two forms one on top of another (top one covering the bottom ones form caption bar)- hope you know what i mean - i have a problem in which the user can select the bottom form and the form caption bar is showing and the form comes in front of the the form above it (covers the bottom of the form above) - so basically is it possible to have a form that is ALWAYS behind the other forms even when it is selected?
Sorry if this sounds confusing and thanks in advanced for any help
Click() Remove Window Focus?
Hey,
I seem to be having troubles getting a minimize to work with my custom picturebox GUI, I can do Close by using unload, but with minimize I seem to not be able to do anything except minimize to tray. Using 'Hide' unfortunately removes the entry from the taskbar, so you can't get it back up. If I can't get minimize to work, is there a way I could make it tell it to remove focus instead? Basically the same exact thing... But maybe I could use a different method?
Or if anyone knows how I can simply use a minimize command, let me know.
Thanks again
David
Remove Item From Window List
Hello Guys. Prob not possible... but is there any way not through the API to remove a form from the File Menu Windowed List... I have some toolbars that are going to stay up there the whole time anyways, so having them just out of the window list makes perfect sense.
If it can't be done w/o api, what is the code.
How Do You Remove The Icon From The Controlbar Of A Window?
How do you remove the icon from the controlbar of a window while leaving the min/max/close buttons intact? The ControlBox option removes everything so its not good...
Perhaps some one knows some tricks with messing the window handle.
I want it so the icon of an MDI child won't interrupt the MDI menus (Basically remove the icon altogether.)
Cheers~
(I see programs have certain windows in this state so i know its possible.)

Remove X Button?
Hi,
I was hoping someone could tell me how to remove the corner x-button in a form while keeping the icon on the form and on the task-bar.
I'd like to avoid subclassing if I can. I'm hoping for a simple API call...
any Ideas?
I've already been able to virtually disable it with the following code:
VB Code:
Private Sub Form_QueryUnload(Cancel As Integer, UnloadMode As Integer)If UnloadMode = vbFormControlMenu Then _Cancel = True: Exit SubEnd Sub
but leaving the image on the form is misleading and could cause some confusion to users.
Thanks in advance.

Close Window
All -
I was wondering if there is a way to have a window open when a document is closed.
For example, I am creating a program that creates a word document with inputs from a userform. A new word document opens up with the inputs from the user form. When this document is closed, I want another userform to open up.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks,
Mike

That basicallly opens up an internet explorer window during the loop. What I want it to do is close that internet explorer window after it is opened. Also, I would preferably like it to wait 2 seconds before closing the window. I need the code for the program since I dont know much. Thank you.
Here is what my total program is to do, so if you can write better code...:
1. Open a new Mozilla/Internet Window
2. Go to a certain website
3. **Optional** Wait 5 seconds
3. Close that Window
4. Have a loop with a certain amount runs

Window.close()
Using the Web Browser control, I have created a browser. As such the browser is working fine but there's a problem.
Many website make use of JavaScript to close a pop-up window. For e.g. window.close() or self.close(). Here's an e.g.:
Code:
<input type="button" class="button" value="Close Window" onclick="window.close();" />
Now what I find is when such a button or link is clicked in a web page, the web page closes but the Form still remains open. Have a look at the 2 images below. Note the Close this window button at the bottom in the 1st image. When I click this button, all I get to see is the 2nd image i.e. the entire Form doesn't close when the button was clicked; only the web page vanished.
How do I overcome this?
