Hi folks,

I have been trawling Google looking for a solution, and I thought I'd found
it, but for the life of me I can't get it to work, yet it seems a common
answer to the question...

When I start my script, I use the original dos window as a console window,
and create a GUI using Tk.

I want to disable the X in the corner of the console window, so that the
user has to exit the program correctly from the GUI.

Here's what I have...
=-=-=-
# DEFINE THE REQUIRED MODULES
use strict;
use warnings;
use Win32::GUI;

# Open the console window after it minimises (can't stop minimise)
# Do it now, because there's a long pause on slower machines otherwise.
my $perlwin = Win32::GUI::GetPerlWindow();
Win32::GUI::OpenIcon($perlwin);
Win32::GUI::Move($perlwin, 0, 0);
print "Loading, please wait for the GUI window...\n";

# Define rest of modules.
use Net::FTP;
use Net::Cmd;
use Time::HiRes qw( usleep gettimeofday tv_interval );
use Win32::OLE qw(in with);
use Win32::OLE::Const 'Microsoft Excel';
use Win32::OLE::Variant;
use Win32::OLE::NLS qw(:LOCALE :DATE);
$Win32::OLE::Warn = 0; # I'll handle errors myself!
use Cwd;
use Win32::Console;
use Tk;
use Tk::Menu;
use Tk::Widget;
use TK::DialogBox;
use Tk::ErrorDialog;

$perlwin = Win32::GUI::GetPerlWindow();
$perlwin-> protocol('WM_DELETE_WINDOW' => sub{});

When this runs, I get the follwing error:

Loading, please wait for the GUI window...
Can't call method "protocol" without a package or object reference at
multi-ftp-v31.pl line 39.

I really don't know what I'm doing wrong, and it's driving me knuts!

Thanks.

R.
