AdiIRC

How are you closing them?

I am clicking on the red-x. I have tried using the ON ^*:CLOSE:@: looking only for custom windows, and while I can catch the event, I can't stop it. I had hoped using ^ would allow me to interrupt the close, but neither halt, nor haltdef worked. There are a couple of custom windows I want to keep open, and if closed simply minimize.

You cannot control closing of windows from msl. Is there any reason why you don't just click the minimize button instead?

User error

I see. I do think training the user to click the right button is the right solution in most cases, but I will think about something for a future version.

Is there an "on minimize" event listener. I had, what I thought would be a wonderful solution. That was to tell adiIrc to minimize when clicking the 'x' and then put specific code code in the "on *:close: " listener. However, if set to minimize on the 'x' is enabled, the on close is never called. Probably by far the simplest solution, and one that certainly fit my needs, would be an "on minimize" event listener. From there I can check to see if certain conditions are met, and handle accordingly including closing the window, using /window -c.

on CLOSING was added in the latest beta.
