Hi,
I am creating a new window in Borland c++ Builder, what i need is if I click on the X mark on the top rightmost corner, then the screen shouldn't close.Do you have any idea which class I need to do this.
Thanks

I'm not sure I understand. If you click Close which is what the X does, do you want to:
1)create another Window or
2)do you want to close the current Window and create a new Window or
3)do you want to disable the Close button? James P. Cottingham

The easiest way to to disable all the icons on the border. You can do this by going to the form's properties and setting BorderIcons to all false. You might also want to change BorderStyle to bsDialog, too to get rid of the border entirely.

WARNING: If you do this, you will need some alternative way to close the form.

If you still want the Icon, but refuse the user to Close the application by Clicking the [x], then using CloseQuerY(…) is one easy way to do this!

// Asuming the form name is Form1
void __fastcall TForm1::FormCloseQuery(TObject *Sender, bool &CanClose)
{
CanClose = false; // this will refuse the user to "close" the application by clicking [x]
}
// but if you want to enable the user att any point to close the window
bool UserCanClose = false
void __fastcall TForm1::Button1Click(TObject *Sender)
{
UserCanClose = true;
Close();
}
void __fastcall TForm1::FormCloseQuery(TObject *Sender, bool &CanClose)
{
CanClose = UserCanClose; // this will allow/refuse the user to close by clicking [x] depending of what value UserCanClose has.
}
