Closing app

[EyeTalion]

I have a MDI app...how do I catch the close event if a user closes a child form by clicking the "X" in the right hand corner? I'd like to get rid of those functions, but when I set to the propery, I lose the form caption...is there a way to get rid of those without losing the caption?

This cancel the event .

Private Sub Form1_Closing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs) Handles MyBase.Closing
        e.Cancel = True
End Sub

thank you

if you want to give the user a choice of closing the app or not you can do something like this :

Private Sub Form1_Closing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs) Handles MyBase.Closing
        If MessageBox.Show("Are you sure you want to quit", Application.ProductName, MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Question) = DialogResult.Yes Then
            e.Cancel = False
        Else
            e.Cancel = True
        End If
 
    End Sub

is there a way to detect if the X was clicked. The code below is executed each time the form is closed for any reason, to go to another form, clicking the close button. I need to capture the click event of the X only....any suggestions?


thanks

Private Sub Form1_Closing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs) Handles MyBase.Closing

You need to intercept the message that the form sends to this method and handle it from there . I don't have time to give you a demo but search if you didn't find , let me know .

Protected Overrides Sub WndProc(ByRef m As System.Windows.Forms.Message)        
 
End Sub
