Form and "X" button

[Marty]

Hi,

How can I detect that a VS.NET2003 C# form is closed with the upper
right "X" button ?

This is because I want to add code to the myForm.OnClosing() event to do
a different process if a form is closed by the user (with the "X"
button) or if the form is closed with myForm.close().

Thank you!
Marty

Set a global boolean variable (field), and write a method that does the
myForm.Close() work. The method would set the variable to indicate that the
method is closing the form. The OnClosing() mathod can then check that
variable (field) to find out whether the form was closed by your method or
not.

Marty,

When you make a call to Close, why not set a flag in your form which
indicates that it is you who made the call. Then, in the on closing event,
you can check the flag. If it is set, you closed the form, otherwise, the
user did it, and you can perform whatever action you need.

Hope this helps.

Here is a sample to check if X button is clicked...

public const int SC_CLOSE = 61536;

public const int WM_SYSCOMMAND = 274;

public bool _closeClick = false;

protected override void WndProc(ref Message m)

{

if ( m.Msg == WM_SYSCOMMAND && m.WParam.ToInt32() == SC_CLOSE )

{

this._closeClick = true;

}

base.WndProc (ref m);

}

private Form1_Closing(object sender, System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs
e)

{

if ( this._closeClick )

{

// X button clicked..

}

}

Sorry for the bad format.. my notepad is screwed up... and I had to paste it
directly from VS.NET code....

Hi VJ,

Thank you for your help :) Where can I find the definitions of constants
like WM_SYSCOMMAND and SC_CLOSE, maybe there are other const that I
could use for future process, I find them useful.

Thanks,
Marty
