Enable close, restore, minimize controls on dialog's title bar

[stevengraff]

Sorry, I know this is probably an old, old, topic, but I couldn't figure out how to find it.

How can I enable the "normal" windows controls on my dialogs?

btw, the example here: http://techsupt.winbatch.com/webcgi/webbatch.exe?techsupt/tsleft.web+WinBatch/Dialog~Editor/Dialog~Editor~version~6.2/Samples+MSHTML~Button~Click.txt
does have them, but I'm not seeing what turns them on.

DialogProcOptions 1002 to change System Menu: Change the dialogââ,¬â,,¢s title bar system menu. Note: this dialog option overrides the system menu settings established with IntControl 49.

Thanks a lot :)

My Cancel button works in the dialog, but my X in the title bar doesn't. Is there something else I need to set to let the dialog get closed by the X?

[stevengraff]

I added the IntControl (49, 1, 0, 0, 0) to make it work.

My Cancel button works in the dialog, but my X in the title bar doesn't. Is there something else I need to set to let the dialog get closed by the X?

DialogProcOptions 1002 should be sufficient to close the dialog using the x in the upper right hand corner of your dialog. If you experience otherwise please post the code you are having an issue with.

[stevengraff]

Using DialogProcOptions(Schmandle, 1002, 2) provides the Close and Minimize options for my dialog.

It doesn't seem that there's any option for Minimize only. Or... should it be that clicking the X would transfer script control to a :cancel subroutine within my callback UDF?

[Deana]

That is correct the following options are available with DialogProcOptions 1002:

0 - no menus
1 - close
2 - close and minimize
3- close and maximize
4 - close, minimize and maximize
-1 - return current setting

Question: Does your code contain a Dialog Callback Procedure? If so this code sample can be used to capture the user pressing the x close button.

That's it, great, thank you; I hadn't noticed the MSG_CLOSEVIA49=11 option before!
