Hi Duncan,

To be honest, I didn't really build Kixforms with login scripts in mind. To that end, I did put in support for turning off the MINBUTTON and MAXBUTTON in Build 14. I never did put in any support for the progressbar control (which wouldn't be too tough if you would like to pursue) ...

The reason I didn't support turing off the sysmenu is because during a forms session, without a close button - there really is no user friendly way to close the task. So I left it out.

Here's the latest Kixforms:

Kixforms Build 14

Other packages that support progressbars are KixGUI (available here), and one of my favorites - loginscreen.exe - which doesn't support turning-off sysmenu either (i think). There is even a non-COM progress dialog program kicking around on the board here, that passes state information through the registry. If your interested, will try and digup.

Now, I can modify Kixforms to support disabling the closebutton if you like. And plop-in the proggybar too - if thats the route you want to take. Im also thinking about porting loginscreen.exe to C and making it more KiXtart friendly - if theres enough interest - I really like that utility ... whew ... too many gooey options man.
