You can achieve this by overriding the `systemRequestedQuit` method to prompt for confirmation before closing.

Thanks. Does it open the native OS confirmation window?

No, but you can create the native dialog with this class inside the previously mentioned method:  
[https://docs.juce.com/master/classNativeMessageBox.html#details](https://docs.juce.com/master/classNativeMessageBox.html#details)

And here’s an example of how it can be used:

> Thank you! I just solved this problem. For anyone who encountered the same problem, here’s the detailed solution. const auto callback = juce::ModalCallbackFunction::create ([this](int result) { if (result == 0) {}// result == 0 means you click Cancel if (result == 1) {}// result == 1 means you click OK }); juce::NativeMessageBox::showOkCancelBox(juce::AlertWindow::InfoIcon, "Title", "Message", nullptr, callback);

I hope this helps.
