The "OK/Close" button is used to close or validate the current window. This button is associated with a specific event of the window: "Before closing with the OK/Close button". This event is executed before the window closing code.

By default, this button is used to close the window (the code of this button corresponds to Close).

Operating mode of the Close button
The following events are run:

"Before closing with OK/Close button" is run.
the event "Click" of the "Cancel" Button control in the window is run (if this button exists). If the window does not contain any "Cancel" Button controls, close the window.

Operating mode of the OK button
The following events are run:

"Before closing with OK/Close button" is run.
"Click" of the "Validate" Button control in the window is run (if this button exists). If the window does not contain any "Validate" Button controls, close the window.

Remark: the window will not be closed if the event "Before closing with the OK/Close button" calls ReturnToCapture.

The type of the button can be changed at any time in the editor:

via the popup menu of the button:
in the "Style" tab of the window description ("System buttons").
