Close function

[harveyhanson]

In VB.NET 2005: is there any way to link the close button on the control box to another form rather than shutting the program, or is this close function set in stone??? Cheers

there is no built in link but you can create your own. in the closing event of the form1 cancel the close. then close form2 instead -- obviously requires that form1 has a pointer to form2.

Can you put an example of how this formclosing works, I have tried to declare it as a public class then put some code in, is this correct?

It's an event handler, just like Form Load, that gets called when the form is told to close. Docs on it are here[^].
