Internet Explorer CLOSE Button for OBPM 10GR3 Presentations

Question

Hi all,
I am using OBPM 10GR3 presentations with a POPUP window.
I already have a close button to close the presentation. This is a Global Interactive Activity which displays the dashboards.
The Global Interactive Activity contains a screenflow and inside the screenflow I have a Interactive Component Call to call the presentation.
Now the presentation opens smoothly and everything is displayed.. When we hit the CLOSE button everything goes away and when we open it again it again comes back to the previous Interactive Component Call and restarts.
BUT
When we Close the window itself instead of using the CLOSE button of the presentations, and we re-open, we get the previous data.
This is because we do not hit the CLOSE button of the presentation instead hit the IE WINDOW CLOSE button on the top right hand corner besides the minimize maximize button.
Therefore the call is still inside the screenflow inside the Global Interactive Activity and therefore it waits for the user to hit the CLOSE button of the presentations otherwise does not close.
How can we resolve this issue?
How can we make sure, that if the user closes the IE WINDOW itself using the CLOSE button, it closes the presentation itself and when re-opened displays the previous presentation?

Hi,
First of all this is a training issue with the user. It is not advisable not to press the close button of the IE.
Nevertheles you can disable to close button of the presentaion.
You can remove the x from dialogs by doing this. Open the executionDialog.xhtml file in the <OraBPMEnterpriseHomeDirectory>\webapps\workspace\jsf\common directory (both Studio and Enterprise have this file).
Change the text on line 81 from this:
<oc:Dialog verticalAlign="top" offsetY="40" backColor="#D4E1EB" borderColor="#517B9E"
borderStyle="solid" borderWidth="1px" id="executionDialog#{componentBean.id}"
title="#{fn:getMsg('EXECUTION')}" broadcastName="executionDialog#{componentBean.id}"
maximized="#{componentBean.executionDialogMaximized}" width="#{componentBean.executionDialogWidth}"
height="#{componentBean.executionDialogHeight}" titleBarCssClass="bpmWorkspaceDialogHeader"
displayMaximizeButton="true"
modal="false" jsObjectName="executionDialog#{componentBean.id}">
to this:
<oc:Dialog verticalAlign="top" offsetY="0" backColor="#FFFFFF" borderColor="#FFFFFF"
borderStyle="solid" borderWidth="1px" id="executionDialog#{componentBean.id}"
title="#{fn:getMsg('EXECUTION')}" broadcastName="executionDialog#{componentBean.id}"
maximized="#{componentBean.executionDialogMaximized}" width="#{componentBean.executionDialogWidth}"
height="#{componentBean.executionDialogHeight}" titleBarCssClass="bpmWorkspaceDialogHeader"
displayMaximizeButton="true"
displayCloseButton="false" modal="false" jsObjectName="executionDialog#{componentBean.id}">
This change does a couple things. The addition of the text "displayCloseButton="false"" removes the x button that is causing the undesired results you're getting and setting the colors to #FFFFFF changes the light blue border around dialog boxes to white.
