Overriding a window close event.

[dgrafix]

I need to be able to either hide the X or the prefered option would be a way of cancelling the window closure and then hiding it instead. The reason is, i would like to maintain the data that has been set in a tools dialogue.

I have an event that fires like this already to record it's last position:

Code: Select all

			case irr::gui::EGET_ELEMENT_CLOSED:

				if (id == TOOLSDIAG)
				{
				    windowposX = ((irr::gui::IGUIWindow*)event.GUIEvent.Caller)->getRelativePosition().UpperLeftCorner.X;
				    windowposY = ((irr::gui::IGUIWindow*)event.GUIEvent.Caller)->getRelativePosition().UpperLeftCorner.Y;
				    
				}

cant you derive a class from the control you are using and then do what you need with the close event?

Sorry noob here

I have my event detection here:

Code: Select all

               case irr::gui::EGET_ELEMENT_CLOSED:
                {
                   
                    if (id == 5000)
                    {
                        
                       ((irr::gui::IGUIWindow*)event.GUIEvent.Caller)->setVisible(false);
                      i want  something here like event.cancel() or something

                    }

"event.cancel()" is the same as return true.
The true tells the engine that you accepted the event and it should not be passed along the gui or scene.
