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)

And what if he closes it from the window menu or by pressing Alt+F4 or by
pressing a Close-Button? Does it make a difference?
Maybe you're looking for the Closing or Closed events.

Hi Armin
I think that the events Close and Closing occur whatever way the form has
closed e.g. if there is button with DialogResult Ok then it will still
trigger the above. I need to know the form has been closed by clicking the
cross.

As far as I know, the .Net framework does not recognise a difference
between the different possible ways of closing a form.
It might not even be possible at a low level to distinguish them - say,
each method just sends a WM_CLOSE message.
However, as Armin indicated, if you could give more information about
why knowing whether the form was closed this way is important, perhaps
someone could suggest another way to achieve your desired result.

Hi
Interesting.
I've thought of a way to do it. Basically, I'm going to create a boolean
which will be set to true if some buttons are pressed otherwise it will be
left as false. I can then check the variable in the OnClose event which will
give the functionality I require.
The reason I am trying this is that I want to re-set some global variables
if, for example, a cancel button is pressed.

If you're using VB 2005, you could handle the FormClosing event and look at
e.CloseReason.
I still don't know if you want to distinguish between the cross and the
window menu and Alt+F4. If this is all the same and there is only a
difference to the button, then you could evaluate the Dialogresult property,
which is only Dialogresult.Ok if you used the button.

It may not know the difference between Alt-F4 and closing the form, but it
can offer some assistance. In the FormClosing event, you can check the CloseReason
property of the event arg for some ideas. It will tell you if the reason
is due to MDIParent closing, OS shutdown, etc. It does not distinguish between
form closing by the user selecting the X, Alt-F4, and me.close() in a btnOk.Click
handler however.

How is the best way to avoid validation when closing a

Does it make sense to put this
If e.Cancel Then Exit Sub

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?
