I've noticed that there are two methods for shutting down modal windows:
1) Thru a 'quit'-type button.
2) Thru the CLOSE-WINDOW button in the upper L.H.(ULH) corner of the
modal window.
My problem is that I can't figure out what event the ULH button returns.
What event does pressing this button return?
Is it possible to create a modal window without this button? I'd assume
that to do so I'd have to specialize off of the current modal window
class.
Since trapping this event would work for me, I'd be content with the
name of the event returned.
Thanks (in advance) for any information leading to the trapping and
subsequent manipulation of this event :)
Please respond thru e-mail (also) because my access here is
not always guaranteed.

If the window is modal (such as a modal dialog) an evCommand with a value of cmCancel is generated through PutEvent. if the window is modeless, the window's Close method is called if the window supports closing (see wfClose flag). ..... I suggest that you read carefully the manual on TWindow and on TGroup.ExecView.
