not closable window

Hi all,

I need to create a program for a touch screen teminal, running
always in the foreground, impossible to close. For the MDI-Child it's possible to
set the flags "closable","maximizable",etc , but not for the MainForm.
Does somebody now how to manage this with Jabaco?

On Linux I work around by making the window bigger than the screen resolution,
so the window frame and the buttons for closing are invisible
but XP always starts at (0,0) with the window.

RE: not closable window

Hello Hubertus,

Borderstyle = vbBSNone

should solve your problem.

Strangely enough, the following does not yield a main form bigger than the screen:

Jabaco Source

 
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
15

Option Explicit

Public Sub Form_Load()
   Me.BorderStyle = vbFixedDialog
End Sub

Public Sub Form_Resize()
   Me.Move(-100, -100, Screen.Width + 200, Screen.Height + 300)   
End Sub

Public Sub Form_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
   If KeyAscii = 27 Then
      system.exit 1
   End If
End Sub


Any ideas, why?

b.t.w.: with Borderstyle = vbBSNone you can still close the application by using the task tray.

No, I haven't tried on Linux.
I suppose, the Linux behaviour depends on your desktop manager and on your X11 environment.
It might be possible to trap closing interrupts from within the calling shell.
