Form Close

[abe6162]

What is the event that controls the close button (the X button on top) on a form. I have an exit button on the form and I want that to behave differently then the close button.
Thanks for you help.

The following events are fired in this order:
Unload ? Deactivate ? Close
Only the Unload event may be canceled.

Hope This Helps, PH.

Is there any way to stop the form from closing, if you hit the close button (the X on top of the form)

Assuming you have your own close button, you may consider this:
Have a global boolean variable, say bCloseOK
In the Unload event procedure of the form:
Cancel = Not bCloseOK
In the Click event procedure of your own close button:
bCloseOK = True
' your close stuff here
