CHUI programs in GUI Window

Dilemma. We have legacy character programs running in a GUI window (v9 Progress on Windows). The problem is it looks awful. Even if the Window is resized the char programs remain the same. Also can't Close the Window with the X for obvious reasons as the character apps are in control of transactions etc. Has anyone had similar issues or has anyone got any ideas how the character apps can look and act 'better' in a GUI container window. They could all be re-written in GUI but time & cost won't allow.

I don't think a generic solution is available but I live in hope.
 
Don't run your ChUI code in GUI windows (prowin32.exe). Use the character client (_progres.exe) instead. It will act the way that it has always acted, look much better albeit still character and it will even recognize the mouse for certain things.
 
Sorry Tom

Tom.
The problem is half he appliction is GUI and is driven by a GUI menu system, half just runs old char code in a window. So using character client is out. Thanks for the effort. Sam.
 
You can add "stream-io" to the frames to get them to look better.

Using "x" to close windows shouldn't be any different than ever. It will just abort the trx.
