[Gangreen]

I'd like to do something when a user presses the X in the top right corner. How?

I work in VB.net
Thx

Windows Forms application or web application?

Windows Forms application or web application?

I'm willing to bet this is a Windows forms question.

Add an event handler for your form's FormClosing event. To do this: select the form, and in the properties window click the lightning bolt icon (events) and doubleclick the blank space to the right of FormClosing.

Make sure to take into account e.CloseReason when you do this. This is what the sub would look like.

    Private Sub Form2_FormClosing(ByVal sender As System.Object,_
ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles MyBase.FormClosing
        If e.CloseReason = CloseReason.TaskManagerClosing_
         Or e.CloseReason = CloseReason.WindowsShutDown Then
            'If either of these are true, 
            'you want your app to shut down immediately.
            e.Cancel = False
        Else
            'Do what you need to do here.
            MessageBox.Show("Can't Close")
            'if you want the closing to be canceled, set true, else false.
            e.Cancel = True
        End If
    End Sub
