If we think about this from a user point of view, I can see several options that might be useful: 1) Esc does not close, no confirm needed 2) Esc does close confirm needed beforehand Before I go further though, I have several questions: Can we have confirm on esc close but no confirm on click close button? On the other side of the fence, does anyone like esc close without confirm? (Personally, as a VI user, I would never want this option, and would be happy with the "disable esc close" option.) Anyways, I am not making any specific suggestions, yet, except that I would prioritize ease of use above ease of implementation when deciding how to structure a user interface. -- Raul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
