I have no survey to prove what "most users" expect. I personally do not expect clicking the 'X' to save any changes. But remember, I still use V6 so I have no pony in this race. I was just pointing out what Microsoft says about the subject. Of course, what MS says is only a "guideline", so developers are free to ignore it if they choose. >Where no >changes have been made I do not think that VB6 can tell, so it plays safe >when the "X" is selected to close. I am not a VB6 programmer so I don't know for sure ... but I would think that this is a problem that can be fixed. *** Maybe an "Are you sure?" dialog should pop up when a user Cancels or Closes(X) the window when there are pending changes. -- Dennis Kowallek (LTools) http://zippersoftware.com/ltools http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ltools There is a message when the Cancel Button is used and there are pending changes, so it should be easy enough to extend for when "X" is used. One would also have to ensure that the date is only updated when the data is accepted. I rather think it is more sensible to use "Cancel" if one doesn't want the change! :-) Ron Ferguson http://www.fergys.co.uk/ Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
