Hello,
I am adding a RibbonBar SystemButton to my form, but without any submenu, and I want the form to close once the user clicks the SystemButton. How can I do this?
Thank you

This turns out to be a bit trickier than you might expect for a couple of reasons:

1) Clicking the System Button doesn't fire the Execute event, so you can't test for it there.
2) You can test for the System Button in the InitCommandsPopup event, but if you call Unload Me in that event then the IDE (and likely compiled EXE) will crash.

Fortunately, you can safely use the PostMessage API with WM_CLOSE on the form hWnd to close the window in the InitCommandsPopup event. The following code works in my limited testing (assuming a form with a command bars control named CommandBars1):


Option Explicit

Private Declare Function PostMessage Lib "user32.dll" Alias "PostMessageA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal wMsg As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, ByVal lParam As Long) As Long
Private Const WM_CLOSE As Long = &H10

Private mo_SysBtn As CommandBarControl ' Reference to the System Button control

Private Sub CommandBars1_InitCommandsPopup(ByVal CommandBar As XtremeCommandBars.ICommandBar)
   If CommandBar Is mo_SysBtn.CommandBar Then
      ' The system button is about to show its popup
      ' This should mean that it was clicked.
     
      PostMessage Me.hwnd, WM_CLOSE, 0, 0 ' Unload Me will crash the IDE! PostMessage is the safe way to close the app in the InitCommandsPopup
   End If
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
   With Me.CommandBars1
      .EnableOffice2007Frame True
      .VisualTheme = xtpThemeRibbon
  
      With .AddRibbonBar("Ribbon")
         ' Create system button, and store a reference
         Set mo_SysBtn = .AddSystemButton
        
         .EnableFrameTheme
      End With
   End With
End Sub
