[2008] Close Message Box?

Hi, I need to close a messagebox without closing the application.
Here is my code:

Code:

---

MessageBox.Show("You may have unsaved work. Are you sure you want to quit?", "Alert", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Question)
        If vbYes Then
            Application.Exit()

        Else
            DialogResult = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.No
        End If

---

If I click yes, the app quits, but this is also the unexpected result of clicking no.
If anyone can help me, it is greatly appreciated!

Louix.

Code:

---

Private Sub Form1_Closing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs) Handles MyBase.Closing
        If MessageBox.Show("¿Do you want to quit?", "Exit program", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo) = DialogResult.No Then
            e.Cancel = True
        End If
    End Sub

---

Put the code in your FormClosing Event, you also need to store the result of the message box in a variable:

Code:

---

    Private Sub Form1_FormClosing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosing
        Dim result As DialogResult = MessageBox.Show("Are you sure you want to exit?", "Exit", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo)
        If (result = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.No) Then
            e.Cancel = True
        End If

    End Sub

Thank you very much for responding, but:

Code:

---

Private Sub Form1_FormClosing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosing
        Dim result As DialogResult = MessageBox.Show("You may have unsaved work. Are you sure you want to quit?", "Alert", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Question)
        If (result = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.No) Then
            e.Cancel = True

        Else
            Application.Exit()
        End If


    End Sub

When I click yes to exit, the message box comes up once more. Can you shine some light on this?

Don't call application.exit, your form is already closing.

I'm sorry I didn't mention this(my bad :P) but I want the whole app to quit not just the form.

You could put that in the FormClosed event.

But that would mean the whole app closes down when one form is closed.

Isn't there a way to detect when the app is closing and then stick the code in there?

That is what you asked for, when the form closes to close the whole application.
