Closing a MDI child form

[Guest]

I'm working on a MDI application, and I would like to notify the app's main
form when a child form has been closed. What's the best way to do this?

I was thinking about sending a message to the main form via the
System.Windows.Forms.Message class, but I thought I'd see if there's a better
approach first.

Thanks for your help.

I would override the child form's Closed event with a delegate to a local
event handler.

Example:

ChildForm mychild = new ChildForm
mychild.Closed += new System.EventHandler(ChildClosed);

So when the child form closes, it will fire off your local event handler via
the delegate and you can do whatever with it.

Thanks--that worked like a charm and is much cleaner than using Messages
directly.
