well i am sure its the solution ( i never used it my self) but maybe it can help you out:

MMCN_REMOVE_CHILDREN (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/mmc/mmc/mmcn_remove_children.asp)
IComponentData::Notify (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/mmc/mmc/icomponentdata_notify.asp)

That is specific for MMC snapins, while the OP was talking about a DOS console box.

You should be able to catch the close command with SetConsoleCtrlHandler (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dllproc/base/setconsolectrlhandler.asp)

handle WM_NCHITTEST Notification
and check for HTCLOSE
that's all you have to do

I doubt this will work with a console window.

[Marc G]

it
will work
ON_WM_NCHITTEST() Implement this macro

write the function in MyFrame.h

UINT OnNcHitTest(CPoint pt);

and implement in your cpp
You do know that we are talking about a console application in this thread? It's like a DOS box. The correct way is to use SetConsoleCtrlHandler (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dllproc/base/setconsolectrlhandler.asp) .
