The **CancelAction **property indicates the WindowManager action to take when the end user "Cancels" the window with changes pending. Valid actions are:

| Cancel:Cancel | immediate abandon (no confirmation) |
| Cancel:Save | immediate save (no confirmation) |
| Cancel:Save+Cancel:Query | offer to save or abandon |
| Cancel:Cancel+Cancel:Query | offer to resume editing or abandon |

**Implementation:**

The Init method sets the CancelAction property to Cancel:Save + Cancel:Query. The TakeCloseEvent method carries out the action specified by the CancelAction property.

CancelAction EQUATEs are declared in ABWINDOW.INC as follows:

**    ITEMIZE,PRE(Cancel)**

**Cancel  EQUATE(0)**

**Save    EQUATE(1)**

**Query   EQUATE(2)**

**    END**
