How To Change Text In The Control Menu

[aiki727]

I am working on an application in which I would like to change the existing
text in the control (system) menu (the menu that appears when the form icon
is clicked). Specifically, I would like to change the 'Close' item text to
something else. I have searched the web extensively and many books on the
subject and have come up empty. The only thing that comes close is the
GetMenuItem, but I do not have enough background to use it. Any assistance
would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for the time and info !

Aiki,

This is a part of the integrated functionality of your complete operating
system. In every language (I assume that you are talking about the tooltip),
will this have another text.

No help, however maybe helps it on a road to the solution.

The first sample on <URL:http://www.dotnetrix.co.uk/menus.html> demonstrates
how to manipulate the system menu. You will have to use p/invoke to remove
the existing menu items.

Thanks for the prompt feedback.

Actually I also wanted to change the close button tooltip text, but I figured
one thing at a time.
