Re: [perl-win32-gui-users] Launch Window without "Minimize/Maximize/Close" buttons

Wed, 31 Oct 2001 06:02:24 -0800

Is it possible to create a window without the "Minimize/Maximize/Close" buttons? My users sometimes hit the Close button rather than exit via my program, which leaves messy background processes running. I guess an alternative would be to map the Close button to my exit code. Is that 

To disable the "Maximize" box, use:

   $window = new Win32::GUI::Window( -maximizebox => 0 );
I'm assuming that -minimizebox would do the same for the "Minimize" one. I've not hidden the Close box before, so I can't help you with that one. Concerning your exit code, you can use your Window name and then _Terminate. For example: 

   $window = new Win32::GUI::Window( -name    => '_Window' }

   sub _Window_Terminate {
      &note("Quitting due to window termination.");
      &exit_program;
   }
&exit_program is just a routine I use for FileQuit's, SystrayQuit's, and so on and so forth. It cleans up a bunch of junk. You can see this and more in my AmphetaDesk source code:
