How to Stop the Form from Closing...

max29297

Is there a way to stop the form from closing within its OnClosing event? I'm making a program that asks if you really want to close it when you press the "x". So I've got a dialog that pops up and conditional statements for whichever button is pressed in the dialog, but I'm not sure what to put in the conditional statements to make the form stop closing. Could anyone help me out with this?

If I had a sig, it would probably go here.

Yep:

private void Form1_FormClosing(object sender, FormClosingEventArgs e)
{

        DialogResult result = MessageBox.Show("Are you sure you wish to cancel?", "Cancel?", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo);
        if (result == DialogResult.No)
        {
            e.Cancel = true;

        }

}

yes, see martin's reply. Thats exactly why the Closing event exists, so you can prevent a Closed event from happening. :)
