Lonkero,

I agree that it may not be completely what is needed. However, it may provide insight in how to do this in Kixforms..

L8r,

Kent

I am using Kixwin/KixPop to get some user feedback and it uses HTML. I have figured out how to send a response even if the user click's the [X] in the upper right corner of the form.

If you're interested say so I'll post the code.

Rocco

Rocco - are you having trouble posting the HTML ? This BBS can be very HTML non-friendly !

Shawn,
Well, it's possible to have only the close button without the sysmenu : WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW = &H80
The bad part is that the caption bar get a little more thinner, but it's the only way to remove it on a basic window
Also, if you want to remove all 3 button and the sysmenu, remove the WS_SYSMENU style (i was almost sure you knew about this one, but now i am [Big Grin] )

For having only the min or max button without the other, i never manage to get it working correctly, plus the fact that some dll versions don't really like this state and ran into a bsod just to let you know about it

After the progressbar, you only need the explorer copy/move/delete, and the common dialog open/save and no more need of kixgui [Wink]

Sorry for the delay, I wanted to clean up the code a little.

Uh, goffy boad won't let me edit my last post. Oh well.

A note:
If you notice I send the response back as a comma seperated text file.
This can be imported in to a XLS file for sorting and reporting. [Big Grin]

Rocco

{EDIT}
Um, is it me, or did my 'script' post get truncated?!

yip, think it got truncated. I've had numerous headaches posting kixpop examples ... ever since this BBS was HTML enabled [Frown]

Just for the uninitiated - kixpop.exe is a non-COM commandline utility that can "present" and "interact" (somewhat) with user written HTML files. Under the covers, it's basically a container program for the Internet Explorer WebBrowser2 object - which is basically what IEXPLORE.EXE really is, just without all the fancy menus and toolbars (one of the reasons why iexplore.exe is so small - under 100K) [Wink]

From a coding standpoint, Kixpop leverages the same "technology" that those browser-based POPUP windows use - the Internet Explorer Dialog Object. Input strings can be "passed" to the dialog object via the commandline, along with other things like "ambience" settings (width,height,windows adornments). Using HTML scripting, one "parses-out" the passed parameters and can show them to the user using DHTML.

Kixpop then waits for the dialog to be closed. That can happen when the user clicks a user-defined button, or, if the user closes the dialog box using the X button. Using HTML scripting, the returned data is then "packaged" and "sent" back to Kixpop - which in turn, "pipes" it out to the DOS console. This can be redirected into a file for later parsing by the Kixtart script.

Rocco, if you might, can you email me your script and HTML ? WOuld love to have a lookie.

Shawn,

Have you managed to include the disable sysmenu (Close Button) in your latest kixforms?

Thanks
