Closing Dialog Box without ending exe

Closing Dialog Box without ending exe

  Yes, now that you have made me think about it it is defined as just a form which I pop with Form.Show() and close with Form.Close, so I should be able to get the normal close event shouldn't I!! I hadn't thought of it in that way. I'll give it a try tomorrow morning. Thanks

  So exactly what kind of dialog box are we talking about here How did you define this object

  Hi Matthew

  Having successfully closed the dialog box, I need to be able to set a global variable when the close occurs, to warn the app that this has happened. Do you know how I can best capture the point that this close click happens (I assume that there is an event that I can subscribe to) so that I can set this variable please.

  Thanks

  But it is really a dialog box, and that is the problem
  

• Arvan

  Yes, that was the answer; it obviously gives everything time to respond rather than timing out and dying!  Thanks for the advice

  I'm just trying it now as we speak Give me a few mins

  Yes, you should be able to do exactly that. I believe that the event is refered (sp ) to as FormClosing. You should be able to set your variable there.

  If you're closing an actual form and not really a dialog box (like a MessageBox), then you should be able to use the FormClosing event maybe...

  Hi Matthew

  I added the two lines above the .Run line, and it now semi-works!! Depending on what the underlying program was doing when the dialog box x was clicked. I will have to do a bit more checking, but I though I would let you know the initial  results in the meantime.

  Could you explain a bit more about adding the extra code after the  .Run line please What code are you referring to

  It would appear that when the underlying program is in a holding loop, waiting for a third party action to complete, the exe bombs out when the X is clicked. I will try may putting an Application.DoEvents in the loop (unless you know something better )

  In your "Program.cs" file, your Main() function should look something like this:
  

  static void Main() {     Application.EnableVisualStyles();     Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault( false );     Application.Run( new Form1() ); }

  
  Simply add the extra code after the line "Application.Run( new Form1() );"

  I think that I must be getting too tired to think clearly. I put the code

  public void Progress_FormClosed(object sender, FormClosedEventArgs e)

  {

  Logging.WriteToLog(2, 2, "INFORMATION: Progress Closed");

  Globals.ProgressTerminated = true;

  }

  Into the Progress form class, but the application then terminated as soon as the progress form was opened, without tripping the debug set on the event! I'm off to bed to consider my options more tomorrow!

  Well, I put the same code in this morning and it worked. Perhaps my PC is trying to tell me something about working late!!
