Close button on MDI parent

[Guest]

When user click on the "x" close button on the MDI parent form, how can I set
an event handler on it? I want to save some settings before the form is
closed. Some forum mentions associate it with the cancel button, there is no
button here.

Anthony,

Have you looked into the FormClosing event on the parent form? That
should fire when the X button is clicked.

Nicholas' post will solve your problem, but you might also want to
look into the OnClosed method of Form. If you override OnClosed in
your own form, you will receive a CloseReason (which will be
CloseReason.MdiFormClosing if your MdiParent is closing).

Nicholas, Alun, thanks.

I got it to work now. Anthony.
