Slideout close box

Is there a way to dis-able the closebox on a Slideout I would like my user
to not be able to accidentally close a slideout when it's pinned.

I mean the little x in the upper right hand corner of my slideout. Clicking
this closes the slideout all together and
leaves the user confused. Just wondering if this can be prevented.

What's a slideout? Do you mean a form?

http://www.mvps.org/dotnet/dotnet/code/windowsandforms/
-> "Entfernen der Schliessen-Systemschaltfläche eines Formulars"

Ignore the text and have a look at the sourcecode.

Yes, well, it would help if I'd use the right term. I mean AutoHide
Windows.

Hi Woody,

"Slide out" means AutoHide windows?
Is it just like tooltiptext window?
Or it is a window that in normal mode it will hide, but if the mouse mouse
in to a certain area it will
slide out?

I found that many people just does not understand your "slide out" mean.
I think you should explain it to us in details, so that we can help you.
May be you can refer to some already met windows to describe it.

Hi Woody,

Just as Cor said, if your slide out window is a form, you can disable
its close box by setting its controlbox property to false.

Hope this helps.

I am surprised that it has been difficult for others to get my meaning on
this but I will try to explain it correctly. I'm probably falling down
somewhere. I am using a tool called UltraDockManager in Infragistics. I
have assumed there is a VS equivilent but perhaps I am mistaken.

It is possible on a form to add a panel. Once created, if a docking manager
is in place you can right click on the panel and select Dock Controls. You
can dock to the Left or right or bottom. Once docked, this panel then
behaves like the little tabs you see all around the IDE in Visual Studio. I
mean, for example, Server Explorer, Solution Explorer, ToolBox etc. That
is, the Panel you created is reduced to a tab and sits at the left of your
screen (if you chose dock left) and remains in tab position till you move
your cursor over it. When you do, it slides-out (like Server Exploer slides
out) and exposes the contents of your pane (in my case a tree-view). It
slides out, like Server Explorer if you have AutoHide Checked. This is
what I am talking about.

As I said earlier, I thought this functionality was built into VS but if it
is something unique to Infragistics, let me know and I will post the
question there. Whatever it is, it is very handy and very helpful in
developing an attractive interface.

Sorry for the double entry.

Woody,
I think that was already clear for everybode, as far as I remember me did
you explain that a while ago.
A little bit shorter but clear. And maybe someone did not see that or not
remember that it was your question.
Some of them are answering tons of answers in more newsgroup than only this.
I think that everybody was expecting that your question about the closebox
was answered.
And I think the slide-out is makeble with VB.net also. I don't know if I did
give you that answer but I thought someone did give you an answer on that
question.
Maybe a little bit more work than Infragistics, but be happy for them, they
have to life too.
I don't know if you did see what discussions about words are often in this
newsgroup, some like it, and too be honest, I am sometimes one of those
kids.
