Capturing Close Event (Pro Users)

I thought this existed in the forums, but couldn't find it anywhere. Anyway... since I just added it to my game I thought I'd share:

In platformWin32/winWindows32.cc, search for SC_CLOSE (about line 860 or 880). You'll see code like

#ifdef TORQUE_TOOLS
      // Catch Close button press event [1/5/2007 justind]
      case SC_CLOSE:
         if (Con::isFunction("onClosePressed"))
         {
            Con::executef( 1, "onClosePressed" );
            return 0;
         }
         break;
#endif // TORQUE_TOOLS

Simply remove the #ifdef and #endif lines and recompile.

Somewhere in your scripts add

function onClosePressed()
{
  MessageBoxOKCancel( "Game Exit", "Are you sure you want to exit?", "quit();" );
}

If you need to save your game or whatever, you can change the "quit();" to call a function of yours to save before quitting the game.

Later!
