Handling Cancel on Form Close

Hi,

I have an event handler to handle the closing of a form. In this
handler (Form1_FormClos ing), I ask the user if they wish to save
updates made to a file. I wish to add the option to the message box to
allow the user to cancel so that the form doesn't actually close. This
is the behaviour you would see if you closed a word document - Save
changes to X.doc - Yes,No,Cancel.

Thanks for your help,

Barry.

Something like... (watch for wrap)

switch (MessageBox.Sho w(this, "Blah blah blah", "Save
changes", MessageBoxButto ns.YesNoCancel, MessageBoxIcon. Question,
MessageBoxDefau ltButton.Button 3)) {
case DialogResult.Ye s:
// do the save
break;
case DialogResult.No :
// wave goodbye
break;
default:
e.Cancel = true;
break;
}

?

I have an MDI application which opens a number of child windows, each of which could have data in a state that needs to be saved. Each child window catches its Closing event and cancels it if the user wants to save the data, but when the Application closes this event isn't thrown automatically. I added a loop to close each child window, but can't seem find how to catch the child window's cancel of the Closing event, so even if the user...

Is there any way to make a form *not closing* when its X on the upper-right is clicked? Is there any event for handling clicks on the X (e.g. to perform additional actions)?

Under what circumstances would e.Cancel be set to True on entry to the Closing event of an MDI child form? I have found that this is why my application won't close properly. I can explicitly set the value to False, but I would have expected it to be False on entry. TIA Charles

Hi, I'm having limited luck getting an ApplicationException to work right in my code. This is VB.NET, VS 2003, Windows XP SP2, .NET Framework 1.1. I thought it would be convenient to take advantage of exception handling to deal with the case of the user clicking the Cancel button while a long operation was running. So, I declared a class inherited from ApplicationException and I Throw one of these with the text "User pressed Cancel"...

Hey everybody! I've created 2 buttons that I've placed on all my forms: a Save button & a Cancel button. The cancel button I have a question about. I used the wizard to create the button and I selected the Record Operations/Undo Record option. I edited the vba code to have the button also close the form after it undoes any changes. Here is the actual code for the OnClick event for the cancel button: Private Sub cmdCancel_Click()...

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,...
