Dialog not showing buttons

[ajith]

I imported an old program into the 2018 version Suneido and found that a Dialog that comes up doesn’t have a “Close” button.

An example:
Dialog(0, Object('Mshtml', "description", xmin: 500, ymin: 500), title: "title")

I tried providing
style: WS.SYSMENU | WS.CAPTION and
exStyle: WS_EX.DLGMODALFRAME

separately and in combination, but without any apparent effect. The Escape key and Alt + F4 are closing the dialog. It is just that the Close button is not visible.

Windows version is Win 7, 32 bit.

Is this a bug or am I forgetting something?

Thanks,
ajith

Hi Ajith,

You need to specify closeButton?:

For example: ToolDialog(0, #(Editor), closeButton?:)

It defaults to false because most of our dialogs have other buttons like OK/Cancel in which case it is unclear whether the ‘X’ close button acts like OK or like Cancel.

Dialog now ignores style: and exStyle: because we found it caused too much inconsistency in our applications because people would specify different options. And only certain combinations of style and exStyle work properly.

Best wishes,
Andrew
