MS Windows - Window Controls

[Phillip Holmes]

Is it possible to remove the 3 icons that control a window - "Minimise - Maximise - Close"

I have users that close windows by clicking the X icon and not the icon I have provided which does validation and other functions. They are making a total mess of the data and is becoming a nightmare to maintain.

I have asked them to use only the icons I have given them but this only lasts a short time.

I know in other DB's like 4D you can specify the type of window you want to use, but I can't find any for FM

Thanks in advance.

FM does not offer this capability natively, but you can accomplish your objective using a plugin such as...

SecureFM

or

WindowUtility

...in some cases, the plug-in may only disable the icon, rather than removing it.
