Re: Disabling the cancel button

Sorry if I've missed this before, but why exactly do you want to disable
this behaviour? The cancel button is supposed to close the application when
in the main window. We should really stick to the defined GUI guidelines
otherwise it's going to be a mess for those not familiar with Qtopia.

Unfortunately that doesn't work for me. My notify() routine only sees
a close event when cancel is pressed.

I looked at the source of QPEApplication, but that hasn't helped. Except
for understanding how the console application acquires its special status:

    if ( active && active->testWFlags( WType_TopLevel ) &&
         (int)active->winId() == ke->simpleData.window &&
         !active->testWFlags(
WStyle_Dialog|WStyle_Customize|WType_Popup|WType_Desktop )) {
        if ( active->inherits( "QDialog" ) ) {
            HackDialog *d = (HackDialog *)active;
            d->rejectIt();
            return TRUE;
        } else if ( strcmp( argv()[0], "embeddedkonsole") != 0 ) {
            active->close();
        }
    }

This code is from QPEApplication - it contains an explicit exception
for the application called "embeddedkonsole"! What a hack...

Does anyone know what the "testWFlags" stuff is for? Could I perhaps
set some flag somewhere in order to get around this forced termination?
