hello

as the topic says, i want to disable or completely remove/hide the top right corner buttons [clsoe,min,max] of a popup window n limit the user to a button only to close the current active window. the reason to do is that the button is linked to a script for some calculation and i don't want the user to create problem by using the window [x] button to close it and by-passing the script.

so how can i accomplish this?

thanx in advance for the help.

I believe you will need a plugin...

its not free and client doesn't want to pay for anything extra other than the project itself.

thanx for ur help n reply.

You can create a custom menu set that overrides the close command with a Do Nothing script step or a script/script step of your choice. This will affect the menu command, as well as ctl-W and the close button (although it won't remove it).

fitch, sorry for being a pain but how can i create a custom menu item to override the close-window-button event? :)

Use the tools in FMP Advanced:

By default a new file will have a "Custom Menu Set 1" with a "File Copy" menu. Modify the Close command of that menu, and make that menu set the default for the file.

thanx fitch. i was just about to post that i have managed to figure out the way to change close-window command and now it works as expected.

thanx for ur help and pointers that led me to the solutions. :)
