Hi all,

I have a winforms and i want to control the event before the system is exit. Please see my code below. Maybe you can help me with some idea :)


VB
Private Sub frmDashboard_FormClosing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosing
    Dim vAns As String = String.Empty
    Try
        vAns = MessageBox.Show("You will be logout from the system. Do you wish to continue?" & vbCrLf & _
                             "Click YES to logout." & vbCrLf & _
                             "Click NO to logout and terminate this system." & vbCrLf & _
                             "Click CANCEL to stay on system", "Confirmation!", MessageBoxButtons.YesNoCancel)
        If vAns = "0" Then
             ' Logout and back to login form
        ElseIf vAns = "1" Then
             ' Logout and terminate application
        ElseIf vAns = "2" Then
             ' Stay on current form
        End If
    Catch ex As Exception

    End Try
End Sub



By right if user click yes or no system will be closing no matter what. But if i click cancel, it should not do anything but since it is under FormClosing events, the system will close and not stay in the current form. How to do it?

Imagine i have frmLogin and frmDashboard. This action is on frmDashboard



EDITED:

I just found this link[^]. Can it answer my question here?

To cancel closing (that is, to let the form stay, not closing it), assign true to e.Cancel.

This is all clearly written in documentation; you should only pay more attentions while reading it.
