closable button

[Rottdpogs]

How can i know when the user clicked the closable button.
I would like to put a messagebox whenever the user click the close button in the form.
Thanks in advance. Please advice.

This button, what would it close? A form or the whole application?

Putting a:
messagebox("Are you sure you want to close this?",36)

In the click event of the button, but I presume you need more then this. Mike Gagnon

If you're referring to the little box in the upper right-hand corner with an 'X' in it, or the 'Close' selection from the menu, modify Mike's code something like this, and put it in the QueryUnload event of the form:

IF messagebox("Are you sure you want to close this?",36) == 6 &&... Yes selected
Thisform.Release
ENDIF
NODEFAULT

In your form's DESTROY event:

IF THISFORM.ReleaseType = 1
=Messagebox( "Close (X) Button was pressed." )
ENDIF

Rottdpogs,
perhaps it could be more simple to disable the close botton (closable=.f.) and use a classic "thisform.release" button, so you would be able to better manage the events.
Mmhhh.... I suppose that you already know this, but you can't choice this solution.

Should you wish to allow users to confirm closing form (after they hit the close (X) button), place this code in the form's QUERYUNLOAD event:

IF THISFORM.RELEASETYPE = 1
IF MESSAGEBOX( "EXIT for sure?",36,"" ) = 7
NODEFAULT
ENDIF
ENDIF
