Closing events ?

hi,

How do I capture the closing events coming from the 'X' icon in the
top-right corner of a form and the
Form.Close() command?
I want to be able to differentiate between the Closing Event coming from the
'X' icon in the top-right corner of a form and the closing event coming from
the Form.Close() command.

I don't want the user to be able to close the application by clicking on the
"X" icon on the top-right corner in a form so I override the Closing event
but I want the form to close when Form.Close() is called.

In Wisual Basic 6.0, I used to do it by checking the Unload Mode against
vbFormControMen u variable.
Thanks,
Scott

Hi Hang,

This is probably not the most elegant way to do this, but this will work:
1. set a public variable in the declarations section of the form with
Public closetest As Boolean = True

2. in the close button event, enter

closetest = False

Me.Close()

3. in the closing event of the form enter

If closetest = True Then

e.Cancel = True

End If

Hi. I have an MDI Parent form with multiple child windows. When I close the parent form, the Closing events of the children forms are not executing. Do I have to close all the child forms in the parent's closing event in order to get the closing events of the children forms to execute? Thanks. -Barry

For some reason, when I click the X to close my MDI parent form, the action appears to be re-directed to one of the MDI child forms, and the parent remains open. I am then unable to close the application. What should happen, is that the main MDI form should close, taking the child forms with it. There is code to loop through the child forms, remove the controls on each of them, and then close the form, but this code should execute only...

Dear Group, I have a MDI with children which may be editing data. If a MDI child closes its Closing handler asks a question 'exit w/out saving?'. On closing the MDI its pops a question 'Exit app?'. If the MDI closes *first* the questions asked by the MDI children appear and *then* the question by the MDI. This is because the closing events in the MDI children get fired *first* while Closing the MDI.

Hi I'm soooo sorry but I've had to re-post this message again. I have no idea what has been happening but for some reason I couldn't seem to be able to see messages that I'd posted earlier. My question is this - how can I determine if a user clicked the cross in the top right of the form to close it. Thanks in advance (and sorry again for re-posting)

Does it make sense to put this If e.Cancel Then Exit Sub at the beginning of form closing events so if the user cancels the app's exiting in one Closing routine he will not be asked again by another when its form Closing routine is run? I guess what I'm asking is will that work. If one form sets e.cancelled to true will e.cancel be true when the next form receives a closing event?

I have a .NET 2.0 MDI application where the child form has a Tab Control. Each of the Tab in the Tab Control has a Validating event to handle what it should do when the user changes tabs. But these Validating Events are also fired when either the child form or the main (parent) form Close icon is clicked. And I need for these events to know if they are being invoked because the app (or child window) is being closed. I have set a boolean...
