Closing window when focus on control to be validated

I validate my textbox input data on its Validating-event. But what if the textbox has focus when I click on the windows close button? Then I dont want to validate - at least not until I've confirmed the 'Do you want to save your changes?' question

Since the textbox's Validating is fired before the form's Closing event, how can I cancel the Validating? Whats the best way to deal with this standard issue?

Is there a way I can prevent the browser window from being closed? I'd like to make sure the browser window only closes programatically (I want to make sure the user enters data before moving on). Another possible solution would be to re-open the window when it's closed. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

For some reason, when I click the X to close my MDI parent form, the action appears to be re-directed to one of the MDI child forms, and the parent remains open. I am then unable to close the application. What should happen, is that the main MDI form should close, taking the child forms with it. There is code to loop through the child forms, remove the controls on each of them, and then close the form, but this code should execute only...

How is the best way to avoid validation when closing a window? For instance, I have a Windows Forms window which has a validation event for a text box. However, if one enters invalid data in then and then attempts to close the window (either via my custom 'Close' box or by clicking the close 'X' in the upper right window corner), the validation event still triggers and it tells the user that they have invalid data. Which of course means...

I have a .NET 2.0 MDI application where the child form has a Tab Control. Each of the Tab in the Tab Control has a Validating event to handle what it should do when the user changes tabs. But these Validating Events are also fired when either the child form or the main (parent) form Close icon is clicked. And I need for these events to know if they are being invoked because the app (or child window) is being closed. I have set a boolean...
