Close (X) and minimise button on the browser form

Gloria Makoya

 hi,

 

pls help. on metastorm, is it possible to diable Close (X) and minimise button on the form browser itself? i want to disable those button and set the fixed size of the form and let the user use Cancel button that comes on the form instead of closing it on the browser. if its possible, how do i do that?

 

i have attached the example of what im talking about.

 

thanks in advance

Hi,

My suggestion would be first to make it as a modal window. So you will have to deal with only close. If it does not fit into the requirements then

 

You can use jquery to solve this issue. Please visit http://plugins.jquery.com/projects/plugins/ to get your jquery files or http://swip.codylindley.com/jquery.DOMWindow.js

 

Demo available at http://swip.codylindley.com/DOMWindowDemo.html

 

 

Minimise event capture

window.onresize =function(event){ 
    ... 
} 

Close Event Capture

In this event we just want to capture if the event was raised by your cancel button and not the 'X' on the top. So on click of cancel button on form we can set a javascript variable to true and check on Unload event of body.

 

 

closeEvent()

{

//javascript to check if the variable is filled

return false; //if variable has no value

}
