Hey everybody,
In my program, I would like the user to be warned if he tries to exit without saving the current file. What I'm looking for is a "clean" way to do this. As it stands, I find I have to process WM_SYSCOMMAND for SC_CLOSE and any menu WM_COMMANDs that close the file (and/or application). I'm just wondering if there is *one* spot that would be a good spot for this kind of processing. (I tried throwing it in with WM_DESTROY of the child window which holds the document... but it doesn't seem to work...)


Thanks all

Thanks JimmyClif, that's one step closer to what I wanted. I just have one objection though... WM_CLOSE doesn't get processed when I choose File/Exit and send the WM_COMMAND to the app... which calls DestroyWindow and sends WM_DESTROY instead of WM_CLOSE... then again... I could just send the WM_CLOSE message instead of DestroyWindow...

sorry... mind's wandering...

Thanks again

What about?:

.IF uMsg==WM_CLOSE

invoke SendMessage,YourEditControlID , EM_GETMODIFY, 0, 0



[b].IF[/b] eax==TRUE

invoke MessageBox, YECID, addr Msg, addr AppName, MB_ICONEXCLAMATION or MB_YESNOCANCEL

         [b].IF[/b] ax==IDYES

          Saveit

          [b].ENDIF[/b]

[b].ENDIF[/b]

Exit your program

[b].ENDIF[/b]
