Hi all!

How can I avoid a form in dialog to be closed when I click the close cross in the form window header?

The question is for both, webclient and servoyclient … ![:D]( "Very Happy")

Best regards. Roberto.

If you attach a method to the “onHide” event of the form, the form will not close if you return false in that method.  
Last time I checked this was working in web client as well.
