I have a feeling this might be a FAQ of sorts; apologies if it is (I tried to find it in the forums). Is there a way to trigger a script when a user tries to close a FM window (or, even better, prevent them from being able to close a window)?

In 8+ Advanced you can create a custom menu and attach a script to the Close Window command (or eliminate it completely).

Thanks; I'll give that a try. There's no way to prevent a user from clicking the window's "close" button, though, is there?

Hello,

You can add a trick, so that the Windows Close button cannot perform close.

I combined Allow Abort (Off) and a Pause Script in order to make the Windows Close button cannot work.

You can see the file attached. Hopefully, that the one you requested...

Test.zip

Awesome. Thanks!

The script you attach to the Close Window command can be as simple as an empty script, so nothing will happen. Not sure what else you could want.

BTW, That sample file is not very helpful if you ever need to run other scripts, or if your user hits the enter key.

Hello Dj,

About the sample file that I gave is test purpose only for disabling the Windows Close button. It's a simple trick.

For me, in this condition, if I want to execute the other script, I would Halt the previous script (which contains Pause/Resume script indefinitely). I thought it can work well?
