Hey!

It's possible to disable closing document.

Try this:

#targetengine disableItems

var disableClose = app.activeDocument.eventListeners.add("beforeClose", stopMenuEvent);
function stopMenuEvent(stopMenuEvent){
    alert("Sorry, you can't close this document!","Closing disabled!");
    stopMenuEvent.stopPropagation();
    stopMenuEvent.preventDefault();
}

Hope it helps!

This works just with CS5.

Yes, that traps Close in the File menu ... but does it also work with the box? (Sorry -- no CS5 nearby, otherwise I'd just try it.)

[tomaxxi]

Yes, it does. If even catches application close.

Yes, I have tested on Mac and its working fine with CS5.

Its stoping command execution in CS4 too but showing error after that.

It controls (x) icon also, but just in CS5.
