Responding to Events on a forms controlbox.

Does anyone know how to respond to a click on a forms controlbox. ie: I have an MDI Parent form, which I don't want to close without prompting for confirmation. This works when the user exits via the exit function I have put on the main menu, however a user can still close the form by clicking the X on the controlbox. Does anyone know if I can detect this click so I can ask the user if they really want to exit ?

Thanks.

I think you mean...

...this but I'm not really sure

Or this maybe?

hmmm or if the above links aren't the ones you need then just look at:

You want to modify the system-menu or something to prevent users from closing the MDI form?

I never worked with MDI, but doesn't it have a Query_Unload event?

If it has then

Code:

---

Private Sub MDI_QueryUnload(Cancel As Integer)
  If CloseMe = False Then
      Cancel = 1
  End If
End Sub

Have fun!
