Stop form from closing

[John S]

When the user clicks the "X" in the upper right-hand corner of a form, how
can I stop the form from closing?

Handle the Form Closing event and set e.Cancel = true.

Be aware that overriding what the user wants to do can be rather
annoying.

You have to handle the Closing event and take appropriate action (ie set the
Cancel property of the event's arg to true). Have a look at the doc for this
event for all implications of doing that. This is very simple to do but this
may lead to other problems if you are not careful:

Hi,

Handle the form's Closing event and set the event argument's Cancel property
to true.

Simply don't have an X button.
Set the ControlBox property of the form to false.

Hi,

LOL

also you can handle the Closing event and set the Cancel property to true

very easy :) you still get the X as the user expect but you have control
over the closing
