I’m Not sure what you’re trying to do but you could do something like this. OnQueryCloseForm() IF NOT CONFIRM(‘Do you really want to close?’) THEN EXIT(FALSE); Maybe set it for SUPER users only? OOoops - this the Axapta forum? ---

Hi there, U can use property Frame of form as “None”. It will show your form without frame ie without maximise, minimise and close button. I hope , that’s you all needed. Bye ---

Create a new method on WinAPI class: ```auto static int setWindowLong(HWND _HWND, int _nIndex, int _dwNewLong) { DLL DLL; DLLFunction DLLFunction; ; DLL = new DLL(#UserDLL); DLLFunction = new DLLFunction(DLL,'SetWindowLongA'); DLLFunction.arg(ExtTypes::DWord, ExtTypes::DWord, ExtTypes::DWord); DLLFunction.returns(ExtTypes::DWord); return DLLFunction.call(_HWND, _nIndex, _dwNewLong); } ``` Define the following macros before using the following method: ```auto #define.GWL_STYLE (0xFFFFFFF0) #define.WS_SYSMENU(0x00080000) ``` Here is the code itself: ```auto style = winapi::getWindowLong(dialog.dialogForm().formRun().hWnd(), #GWL_STYLE); style = style & ~(#WS_SYSMENU); winapi::setWindowLong(dialog.dialogForm().formRun().hWnd(), #GWL_STYLE, style); ``` This does not remove the hotkeys, like Ctrl+F4. Let me know if it works ---

As far as I understand, removing the SYSMENU removes the MINIMIZEBOX and MAXIMIZEBOX as well WS\_SYSMENU: 0x00080000 WS\_THICKFRAME: 0x00040000 WS\_MINIMIZEBOX: 0x00020000 WS\_MAXIMIZEBOX: 0x00010000 ---
