Trying to make a button the close the form but ask before it closes...

Jstyle

Ok I know how to make the X ask before the form closes in VB.NET. However, I am trying to make a control where a button asks 'are you sure you want to close' before it closes the form. This is what I have so far and I am doing something wrong:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

     Private Sub Button3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click

        'Me.button3_click = (MessageBox.Show("Are you sure you want to close?", "Confirm Close", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo) = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.No)

    End Sub

You almost have it. :]

In your button's click procedure put an if statement like so:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
        If MessageBox.Show("Do you want to close?", My.Application.Info.Title, _ MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Question) <> _ Windows.Forms.DialogResult.Yes Then

            Me.Close()

Basically, if the user clicks anything but yes (in this case, no) the dialog box just goes away. Otherwise the form closes.
