Closing a messageBox with the ESCAPE key

Jax
Is there any way to do this that doesn't involve creating a form to be a messagebox
I'm re-writing a program that designed in VB and the users want to keep that functionality within the program
Why could you do this with VB6 but not C#

Many thanks to those that hel

Message boxes work the same way in VB6 and C#.

The Escape key is equivalent to the Cancel button in the message box, if
there is one. If there isn't, it does nothing.

Thanks for the response, I appreciate it
What you said may be true for applications on a desktop but for some reason it doesn't seem to work in the Compact Framework in my Pocket PC app
Infact I can't even get the escape key to register in any key down / key press event

Any more info

I have an MDI application with a number of child windows. In each child window I am catching the Closing event and having the child window decide if it should set cancel to true. The intent here is to ensure that no child window can close while it is in a state where user entered information can be lost. I have just noticed that while the Closing event is caught if I click the X on the child window, it is not caught if I click the X on...

I have a VB.NET form which I'm displaying modally using the ShowDialog() method. Within the form is a Cancel button, and I've set this button into the Form's CancelButton property so that pressing Escape automatically clicks the button. Within the button's Click event code I display a confirmation messagebox to ensure the user really does want to cancel. However, regardless of what code I put in this event, the dialog form always...

I need to make sure that the user cannot close (using "X") the form before saving the data on it. Which form event should I write the control code in? Thank you, -Delen

I am trying to figure out how I can trap the Closing Event that occurs when a user attempts to close the window by clicking on the red"X". I tried this code which I found online but nothing happens. What do I need to do to trap and give the ability to save changes before the window closes? Thanks, Ron

Hi, I'm using vs 2005 to develop a mobile application. I have tried to use a closing event to pop up a messagebox before close the form. It seems that the form is hided. And I found out that the messagebox will occure after clinking the setting -> memory -> application. Besides, I have tried the event disposed, closed, too. It seems that it doesnt pop up the messagebox.

Hello all, I'm experiencing some, imo, strange behavior with the StreamReader object I am using in the code below. Summary is that I am downloading a file from a website and saving it to disk for further parsing. I know, I could use the WebClient and it would be easier, but I don't have the flexibility I want with it. This code appears to work exactly the way I want unless the user cancels the the background operation. In that...

Hi, I want to close my form when the user presses the Escape key. I tried to catch the event KeyPress of the form but the program do not go through this code. I tried to catch the KeyPress event for several conrtrols in the dialog and the event was caught, but I do not want to catch this event for every control in the form. What is the right way to close the form when the user presses Escape ?

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
