How to disable Perl/TK Frame widget close button

w3ntp has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I am creating a simple Frame using Perl/Tk and would like to have the small "x" button on the very top right of the Frame Rectangle disabled so that the user can either minimize the Frame or change its size but not close it. Any suggestions as to an option? thanks w3ntp

I think you want this entry in the Perl Tk FAQ 10.21. How do I prevent a window from closing when a user clicks on the 'cross-field' in the upper-right corner? -- brian d foy <brian@stonehenge.com>	[reply]

The WM_DELETE_WINDOW command did the trick. thanks you very much, w3ntp	[reply]

You can also simply override redirection to the window manager, so that the window manager does not draw the window controls at all by calling this on your main window: `$mw->overrideredirect(0);` [download] This is useful for splash screens or static windows (like desktop monitors etc) Shane "Never take yourself too seriously, because everyone knows that fat birds dont fly" -FLC	[reply] [d/l]
