Closing an application properly

I have written a close routine to handle an "Exit" button to close the
application properly. How do I make sure this gets executed if the user
closes it another way (by pressing the "X" in the upper right hand for
instance, or Alt+4, etc.) Or is this even necessary?

* "Ricky W. Hunt" <rh*****@hotmai l.com> scripsit:
No! Handle 'MyBase.Closing ' only (or override the base class'
'OnClosing' method). Inside the handlers of the menu item's 'Click'
event and the button's 'Click' event, simply call 'Me.Close()'. This
will cause the 'Closing' event to be raised.


Ah. I think I understand. I didn't realize Me.Close() was/triggered an
event. I thought that was the exit point of the program. So is "Closing" the
very last function that's executed before the program terminates?


In most cases, yes. The 'Closed' event will be fired after the 'Closing' event.

Question for the group The authentication system for the site Im working on seems to function properly and all is good.

Is there a way I can prevent the browser window from being closed? I'd like to make sure the browser window only closes programatically (I want to make sure the user enters data before moving on). Another possible solution would be to re-open the window when it's closed. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Hi, My app does not stop whan I click on the form. I mean, the form is closing, but the process keeps running in the task manager. So I figured there are memory leaks or some object's process stuck at some point. Is there an easy way to know where it comes from other than putting breakpoints all over the code? 'cause it's huge and I would have to set breakpoints for at least a day or two thanks

I have an MDI application with a number of child windows. In each child window I am catching the Closing event and having the child window decide if it should set cancel to true. The intent here is to ensure that no child window can close while it is in a state where user entered information can be lost. I have just noticed that while the Closing event is caught if I click the X on the child window, it is not caught if I click the X on...

In my application I need a way to distiguish between the following events: 1. When a user closes an MDI child window. 2. When the user closes the MDI parent window which subsequently closes the MDI child window. My application does certain logic when the user actually closes the MDI child form by clicking the "X" in the upper right hand. My application, however, should not execute this logic if the user closes the MDI parent. I...

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...

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

I have written an application that exports data from SQL to Excel. It all works perfectly except that if you open the Task Manager after running my application, there is an instance of Excel in the list for each time the extract has been run. I cannot seem to find anything on this, I have the application closing properly as far as I can see, but it is staying in the process table and the only way to get rid of it is to either reboot...

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,...
