I would like an Event to occurr 100% of the time when my app is closing

[Christian Blackburn]

Hi Gang,
I can't seem to find an event for my form that'll occur when the user
presses Alt+F4. Can someone provide the name/location of such an event for
me?
Thanks in Advance,
Christian Blackburn

If you set a Form as the startup object, the Closed event always fires.
If you specified a Sub Main as the start procedure, the end of the
application/main thread is at "End Sub" of Sub Main.

Sub Main
'...

Application.Run()
'---> here is the end <---
end sub

Hi Armin,
Thanks for trying to help, but I did try every legitimate and to me at least
obvious event for my form. And yes the form is my startup procedure. The
closed event does not fire when you exit if you press Alt+F4. Try it for
yourself. I'm using VB2003 and that may and or may not be part of the
problem.
Cheers,
Christian

It also fires using Alt+F4. Can you reproduce it in a new project?

Of course, you mustn't uses the "End" statement. ;-)

Hi Armin,
It would seem that you are correct. I'll have to look into why that might
be. The event seriously doesn't fire on my system with the project I'm
working on. However when I created a sample project with one line of code
inside of a Form_Closed event:
Msgbox "I'm closed!"
things did in fact work fine.
