To the best of my knowledge that's not possible with just VDS. The ALT+F4
hot-key combo is assigned to the system menu. That's the menu that pops
up when you click on the icon in the upper left corner of the window.
I don't have a function in my SSmenu.dll that can get the handle for the
system menu. However, I will add that function to the dll. Afterwards you'll
be able to get the handle for the menu and then disable any of the menu
items on the system menu.

Do you want to disable ALT+F4 only for a VDS window, or for another one? Cause if it only has to be for a VDS window, you can check if the mouse is over the close button if someone tries to close your app...
| Code: |
DIALOG CREATE,New Dialog,-1,0,100,100
REM *** Modified by Dialog Designer on 12-3-2003 - 15:15 ***
DIALOG SHOW
:Evloop
wait event
goto @event()
:Close
if @greater(@mousepos(X),@fadd(@diff(@dlgpos(,W),20),@dlgpos(,L)))
if @greater(@sum(@dlgpos(,L),@dlgpos(,W)),@mousepos(X),5)
if @greater(@mousepos(Y),@dlgpos(,T))
if @greater(@fadd(@dlgpos(,T),20),@mousepos(Y))
exit
end
end
end
end
goto Evloop |

If you want to use it on a VDS app, just create a menu with an item that
has a hotkey of Alt+F4. If you do not want the menu to show, then create the
menu and try hiding it using ssmenu.dll. Don't know if the hot key will still
work, but, I know it works assigning Alt+F4 to a menu item.

I have added a function to retrieve the handle of the system menu, I
however, forgot that I had started to make some changes to SSMenu.dll so
I also need to finish them before releasing an update.
BTW, using SSMenu.dll to disable the ALT+F4 hotkey will also disable the
CLOSE button at the upper right hand corner of the window.
Give me another day or two and I should have SSMenu.dll updated.

Here ya go... 
| Code: |
OPTION SCALE, 96
OPTION DECIMALSEP, "."
TITLE By Mac
DIALOG CREATE,Hot Keys,-1,0,200,100
DIALOG ADD,MENU,-,NoClose|ALT+F4
DIALOG SHOW
:EVLOOP
WAIT EVENT
goto @event()
:NoCloseMENU
INFO Not closing program...@tab()
goto EVLOOP
:CLOSE
EXIT
|
You can put the NoCloseMENU label above the EVLOOP label,
and it won't need any further attention:
| Code: |
:NoCloseMENU
:EVLOOP
WAIT EVENT
goto @event()
|
Cheers, Mac
