Would it be possible to have an option to disable them then? Is there any way to force the "close all" and "quit" functions to execute the customized close function for each document instead of closing them in the standard way?

Why does the Close function not work? It does not work simply because there is no longer a command called "XXE.close". Command "XXE.close" is implemented by the standard "closeAction" action. Standard "closeAction" action is *declared* in "xxe-gui:app/default.xxe_gui", but it is not *created* during XXE startup. This, because it is not referenced directly or indirectly by the "layout" element. If you rewrite your "layout" element like this: --- <layout> <hidden> <insert /> <action name="saveAction" /> <action name="closeAction" /> </hidden> </layout> --- It will work. --- PS: Now, why did "XXE.save" exist (and therefore works) and not "XXE.close"? Answer: Command "XXE.save" is implemented by the standard "saveAction" action. The standard "saveAction" action is referenced in the standard *toolBar* (which is not the case of "closeAction") which itself is referenced in the standard "layout" element. --- PS2: This means that you need to redefine the standard "toolBar" as well. --- PS3: There is currently no way to force the (X) icon found in the active document tab to invoke your custom "mydoc.close".
