disable that close button in the corner

[elistein]

Hi,

I know this question was raised in January 05, 2011, but without an answer.

So, how to disable that red X button in VISIO 2003?

I don't think you can disable it, but you can trap the document close and application close events, you'll need VBA or an addon to be able to do this.

Hi Paul Herber

Thank you for your fast reply.

I found this code that's working fine, but its for a UserForm:

Private Sub UserForm_QueryClose(Cancel As Integer, CloseMode As Integer)
     
    If CloseMode = 0 Then
        Cancel = True
        MsgBox "The X is disabled, please use a button on the form.", vbCritical
    End If
     
End Sub

Is it possible to adapt it for the drawing document.

Many Thanks

You need to handle the QueryCancelDocumentClose event.

Hi AndyW

Of course you are right.

Works well

Many Thanks
