Topic: Disable Close Button at Runtime

I'm trying to disable the Close Button of the window frame in runtime using the following code:

void EnableCloseButton(BOOL bEnable)

{

UINT menuf = bEnable ? (MF_BYCOMMAND) : (MF_BYCOMMAND |

MF_GRAYED | MF_DISABLED);

CMenu* pSM = GetSystemMenu(FALSE);

if(pSM)

{

pSM->EnableMenuItem(SC_CLOSE, menuf);

}

I call this function on a button click. It works for a dialog based test application. In my application project based on CXTPDialogBase<CXTResizeDialog> the button is not disabled. When I maximize it the new style i applied to the button.

Is there a workaround for this problem?

Thanks,

Timo

That didn't work, but based on your answer I found the solution myself. I had to change the Window Style and then change it back to the old state to refresh the buttons. I chose the maximize button:

AfxGetMainWnd()->ModifyStyle(WS_MAXIMIZEBOX, 0, SWP_FRAMECHANGED);
AfxGetMainWnd()->ModifyStyle(0, WS_MAXIMIZEBOX, SWP_FRAMECHANGED);

Regards
