how to send a warning message before closing soft via X of the title bar

[daniel_blanzat]

With labview 8.2:

I would like to send a warning message before closing my soft when the user press the "X" of the title bar. Is it possible to do that without a Windows dll?

Thanks a lot,

Daniel.

Hi Daniel,

use an event structure, select event <Application> -> 'Application Exit'. Now you know when the user wants to close the window and you are able to show a message or discard the event.
You can also forbid window closing in the vi properties -> Window appearance!

Gerd,

I think a filter event for 'Panel close?' is more appropriate because you have the possibility to cancel the event or continue the event.

Hi TonP,

yes, you're right!
I just opened the 'edit events' dialog and clicked through <Application> and <this vi> without moving the scroll bar - so I missedthe 'Panel close' event.

Look at the Dialog Using Events template, this uses the "Panel Close?" Event slight mods here will achieve what you want.
