Can I intercept and about the user closing the App

[BrashMonkey]

Hi,

I'm creating an APP wher the user can save modified data.

I'd love it if when the user goes to close the App (via the close icon at the top right of the window or menu selection) that a dialogue box would pop up and ask if the user wants to save changes before closing.

Is this possible?

thanks much

There is a condition to check if the close button was pressed. Special-->Application Menu-->Close window has been selected.
Keep in mind that if you use it, you will have to manually close the app after you do your saving.

Thanks very much StephenL!

Actually, Now I cant close the app even manually... I'm guessing because even the action of closing in an event triggers toe dialogue box to reopen?

Is there a trick around this?

I've sent you a pm.

Thank you for giving me a hand... once we figure out what I'm doing wrong I'll post that here to hopefully help someone else some day.

I sent you two examples that should help.

Edit: In case anyone wants to know how to solve this, here is how to do it.

Using the non-modal dialog box, it works this way:

Keep in mind that your button properties should have a name, in this case "save_button".

Using modal, you need to do it this way:

This way doesn't require a button name, but you need to check: "Close Dialog" and "Ok Button" in the button properties.
