Abort the closing proceedure

[BigSi]

Is there a way to prevent a form from closing when the user clicks on the close button on the top right of the form. I plan to bring up a message box asking if they are sure they want to do this - I cant seem to find how to do it in VB.NET :(

 

Thanks.

Si

Excellent - Thanks for your quick reply :)

heres the code that I ended up using if anyone is intrested

 

 

Private Sub Account_Closing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs) Handles MyBase.Closing
       Dim CloseAnswer As Integer
       CloseAnswer = MsgBox("Are you sure you want to close this form?", MsgBoxStyle.YesNo)
       If CloseAnswer = 6 Then
           'the user wants to continue quitting
           'Me.Close()
       Else
           'the user has changed his/hers mind
           e.Cancel = True
       End If
   End Sub
