Hi Gary,

Try this:>>

Public Class Form1

  Private Sub Form1_FormClosing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosing

    Dim result As DialogResult
    result = MessageBox.Show("Are you sure you wish to close the program?", "Close program?", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo)

    If result = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.Yes Then
      e.Cancel = False
    Else
      e.Cancel = True
    End If

  End Sub
End Class

Hi again Gary,

If you only have a single Form then the application will close anyway when it is run.

If you want to close the application from say Form2 use:>>

Public Class Form2

  Private Sub Form2_FormClosing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosing

    Application.Exit()

  End Sub
End Class

Hi Gary,

Here is my little "BIG" tip:>>

Select the item from the top-left-combobox above your code window such as;

• Button1
• Form1 events

or whatever.

Then you can select the associated event that you want from the one on the right-hand-side.  :-)    ;-)    :-D

Tip 2:

Select the last item in the PROJECT menu.

In the window that appears you can change

Shutdown mode:

between

When startup Form closes

'or

When last Form closes

when you have the APPLICATION tab selected on the left hand side of the window,

SHUTDOWN MODE

is on there somewhere.  :-)

Regards, John
