Custom Dialogs 'X' - Not Working

[Daniel_Dority]

Hey there,

I've created several custom dialogs and I noticed the 'X' on the top right is not doing anything when clicked.

I stumbled over this thread and added the code in the switch block but it doesn't work.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Is this an InstallScript or InstallScript MSI project? Does this dialog code also encounter this issue in a sample project? Can you post the dialog code here or send it to me at joshs@acresso.com?

This is an InstallScript MSI Project.

This is not an issue when working with Standard Dialogs, only my custom ones. I added the code in the link that I found, but did not help.

Do your custom dialogs have a pushbutton control with "C" as the text and a control ID of 2? If not, can you try adding a pushbutton on the dialog that uses the following settings:
Control Identifier: 2
Text: C
Visible: False

With this and the code added to the default switch case in the dialog code, test the close button again.

Please let me know if this helps.

Also, note that there is a complete custom dialog example provided in the dialog sampler, which source is shipped with the product. This source can be used as a working sample for comparison.

Checking this source, make sure that you have a handler for IDCANCEL (e.g.)

// Escape or System menu - Close
 case IDCANCEL:
     bDone = TRUE;
     bExit = TRUE;

Also, as Josh S. indicated in a previous post you may need to add a special invisible control to make this work.
