Preventing file closure

[Lawlerdev]

Has anyone come up with a way to prevent the current file from closing using the close box on the top of the window? This happens a lot on Windows and is a pain.

In startup script add the following steps.

Allow User Abort [Off]

Loop

Pause/Resume script []

End Loop

BEFORE YOU DO THAT, have a script that does this:

Halt Script

Else you will have no way of closing the file rather than a force quit. Make sure you create a button for the user to quit. This doesn't have need a Halt Script or Exit script step. After all, if it did, then the script would halt and it would close anyway. Make sure you hide the status area too so the users don't see the pause button. You can do everything with buttons, all scripts will run properly, but as soon as any script calls for the halt script, they will be able to close the program. Just play with it, you'll figure out what you need.
