How to disable the closebox from window?

Vaadin 6 / 7 / 8 Framework UI
1

Hello, I’m wondering if there’s any way to disable the “X” from the corner of certain windows.

2

not that I know anything… but could this be done with css?

Yes, CSS is currently the only way to hide it.


.i-window-closebox {
    display: none;
}

Well, that hides the box from all child windows, so you’ll have to add a style name for your window and use that in the rule.

And of course, if being able to close the window is a security issue (such as bypassing a login box), just hiding the box with CSS is not enough.

Thanks for the reply.

No it’s not a security issue. Just making things little easier and that CSS code did the trick :slight_smile:

You can circumvent the security hole by overriding Window.close() with an empty method.

[code]

import com.itmill.toolkit.ui.Window;

public class PermanentWindow extends Window {

protected void close() {
}

}
[/code]This way the window cannot be closed even with a forged HTTP-request.

I am using vaadin 6.8 and the css method does not work.
My entire css file is like this:
@import url(…/reindeer/styles.css);
.ess-label-big {
font-size: 14px;
line-height: normal;
}
.i-window-closebox {
display: none;
}
The label text font size change works. But the “x” on upper right corner of windows did not disappear.
