Messagebox on program exit

[Mike1]

Hello. I've been doing C++ for a week or 2 now and I'm trying to have a messagebox appear when the "X" button on the title bar is clicked.

In notepad, when you type something in then press the X button, it asks you if you want to save the file. I'm trying to simulate that in my program.

I'm using Dev-C++ right now.

Thanks, any help is appreciated. (I wont be able to reply for a little while have to go to movies.)

What exactly is your question? What are you having trouble with? If you are more specific, you will get a more expedient solution.

Oh, god. Please tell me your joking.

As for the code, you need to add the WM_CLOSE event to your procedure. This event handles the application termination when the X is activated. For example:

// This is inside your procedure.
switch( msg )
{
    WM_CLOSE:
        MessageBox( HWND_DESKTOP, "Are you sure you want to quit?", "Confirmation", MB_OKCANCEL | WS_POPUP );
        break;

    // Other events...
}

@Mike1 Here is an article about why DevC++ is a bad choice, and some alternatives:

Xander, I'm just wondering how I could have a messagebox appear when the X button is clicked and if No or Cancel is clicked it doesn't close the program.

Thanks Framework, works exactly how I wanted.

I'll try out some of the IDEs today Xander.

Thanks.

1 more thing, when I have it check if Cancel is clicked, how can I have it not close the program?

Edit

Nevermind, found out what I had to do.

Had to put "return 1;"
