#973 closed enhancement (obsolete)

Supress dialog box when closing a VM Guest

Description (last modified by aeichner)

The code below is designed to achive the following

"Close the virtual machine window (or shutdown the host OS) and the virtual machine's guest OS shuts down or suspends gracefully, then the vm window closes automatically."

In other words prevent the dialog box from appearing when closing a VM session.

Here is a suggested change in the file trunk/src/VBox/Frontends/VirtualBox/src/VBoxConsoleWnd.cpp (R5923)

1199                    /* The stuck VM can only be powered off; disable anything
1200                     * else and choose PowerOff */
1201                    dlg.rbSave->setEnabled (false);
1202                    dlg.buttonGroup->setButton (dlg.buttonGroup->id (dlg.rbPowerOff));
1203                }
1204    
1205                bool wasShutdown = false;
   
                    bool dialogAccepted = true;
                    QStringList suppressCloseDialog =
                           QStringList::split (',', cmachine.GetExtraData (VBoxDefs::GUI_SupressCloseDialog));
                    if (supressCloseDialog [0] != 'Yes')
                    {
                        dialogAccepted = (dlg.exec() == QDialog::Accepted);
                    }
1206    
1207                if (dialogAccepted)
1208                {
1209                    CConsole cconsole = console->console();
1210    
1211                    if (dlg.rbSave->isChecked()) 

Not sure if the code is correct as I havent done much c++ coding, but what it achieves is that if "GUI_SupressCloseDialog" is set to "Yes" then do not show the dialog box but instead close VM according to the action set in "GUI_LastCloseAction" or the default close action if its not set.
