Yet another quick VB.NET question

[GingerNinja1989]

Hi yet again guys (you lot must be getting sick of me by now ), I'd like a spot of help if ya'll be so kind.

Basically, my program has two ways of closing, 1.) File > Exit and 2.) Click the X.

These both bring up different message boxes asking the user if they want to save etc. Trouble is, the File > Exit way obviously closes the form, and the click X thingy handles the MyBase.FormClosing event. This means that when I do File > Exit, I also get the message box from the X as well. Any ideas as to how I can remedy this?

Will post code if required. TIA

Do the dialogues need to be different? If not, just close the form from the File -> Exit handler and the FormClosing event will do the rest.

Otherwise, you'll probably need to set a flag or something to indicate that the form was closed via File -> Exit, and then close the form as above. Then have some code in the FormClosing event handler that checks the flag to see which dialogue it should display.

Yeah, they need to be different - one has a cancel button, one doesn't. Anyways, I found a way round it now, but thanks all the same
