[2008] Close Message Box?

[Louix]

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

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:

    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:

 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.

[Louix]

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.
