Is there a way to intercept the "X" (close) button...

Right. This is the reason for the return value = 1. If you want to close down
the program immediately you may return 0.

Albert,

CASE %CTRL_CLOSE_EVENT                       'works
      PRINT "[x] %CTRL_CLOSE_EVENT"
      ShutDown

I think I can work with that, Mike. Thanks.

This will never work, because RB console returns a chr$(3) in inkey$.
I also suggest to set the ConsoleHandler value %TRUE, then the control will
be handed back to the program if the [X]Close is clicked.
Here is my version.
Note: To be exact: we need to determine whether F4 or Alt-F4 is pressed, so
an (inshift and 3) would come in handy.

#compile exe
#dim all
#include "WIN32API.INC"

declare function Breakhandler(byval dwEvent as dword) as long

global gEventType as dword
global gEventFlag as long

function pbmain as long
    local lTemp as long
    local sTemp as string
    stdout "<Esc> will stop this little program"
    SetConsoleCtrlHandler codeptr(Breakhandler),1
    while %TRUE
      if gEventFlag then
         select case gEventType
           case %CTRL_BREAK_EVENT
             print "Ctrl-Break pressed"
           case %CTRL_CLOSE_EVENT
             print "[x] Close clicked"
           case %CTRL_LOGOFF_EVENT
             print "User logging off or restarting"
           case %CTRL_SHUTDOWN_EVENT
             print "System shutting down"
         end select
         gEventFlag=%FALSE
      end if
      sTemp=inkey$
      if len(sTemp) then
         select case sTemp
           case chr$(3)
             print "Ctrl-C pressed"
           case chr$(0)+chr$(62)
             print "Alt-F4 pressed"
           case chr$(27)
             print "Escape pressed - exiting program"
             exit function
           case else
             for lTemp=1 to len(sTemp)
                 stdout format$(asc(mid$(sTemp,lTemp)))+" ";
             next lTemp
             stdout""
         end select
      end if
      sleep 2
    wend
    SetConsoleCtrlHandler codeptr(Breakhandler),0
end function

function Breakhandler(byval dwEvent as dword) as long
    gEventType=dwEvent
    gEventFlag=%TRUE
    function=%TRUE
end function

...so I can do some cleanup before the program actually ends?
Thanks.
