Hi folks,

on desktop with a window, instead of showing fulllscreen... is there a way to detect if someone pressed the X button or is closing it via the system menu.
I would like to show a dialog "Do you want to exit the game?"

Cheers
Michael

Well to be honest I'm not sure it is a great idea to detect if someone is trying to close the window. The only apps that do that are ones where closing without saving could make you loose critical data. What happens if say the graphics device is lost (might happen if the user reinstalls the graphics drivers while the app is running)? Then your window will be completely blank and they can't close your app normally because they can't see the confirm close dialog. Yes, I know loosing the graphics device is pretty hard on OpenGL platforms but it is possible on certain graphics cards.

Would be great to have this for tier 1. Applications with save functions would benefit from this.

This is not impossible if you run your app through a wrapper window. You can run the AppGameKit executable nested in a panel (for example) and make the panel stretch to fit the form, then use standard events / messageboxes to detect and interrupt the exit event and check that the user actually wants to exit the app. Then if they do simply make sure the AppGameKit process is also closed. It would be better as a tier 1 command of course...

i know its possible to hide the window title & buttons in other languages, so agk can do this too with a little effort.
if so you can set your own close button with your own behavior.
