' Calls this method from the InitializeComponent() method of your form
Private Sub OtherInitialize(
AddHandler Me.Closing, AddressOf Me.Form1_Cance
End Sub 'OtherInitializ

Protected Sub Form1_Cancel(sender As Object, e As CancelEventArgs
If Not myDataIsSaved The
e.Cancel = Tru
MessageBox.Show("You must save first."
Els

What's your intention? To close a Form, call it's Close method. The closing
event occurs before the Form get's closed. In the event handler you can set
e.cancel = true to stop the Form from being closed. If it is closed, the
Closed event occurs.

Hi Carl,

files and I do not understand it or where its goes

You do not need that, just open in your form code the uper left combobox and
choose form1_events. Than in the right combobox "Closing"

The sub with the handler in it will be completly made. There you can paste
in the syntax you have now in the sub Form_Cancel (Than others will probably
as well understand better your code, en needed by instance when you send a
snippet to this newsgroup).

You can as well delete that first sub and set the addhandler sentence in
the load event from your page, however it is than a little bit not done
code.

I hope this helps?

Hi Armin,

I saw this message at 10:37 (our time) is there something strange or is this
normal?

While I had seen the message from Pieter (DraguVaso) before that in an
earlier refresh.

' Calls this method from the InitializeComponent() method of your form.
Private Sub OtherInitialize()
AddHandler Me.Closing, AddressOf Me.Form1_Cancel

This adds a handler to the form's 'Closing' event. This event is fired
when the user or the system is trying to close the form.

End Sub 'OtherInitialize

Protected Sub Form1_Cancel(sender As Object, e As CancelEventArgs)
If Not myDataIsSaved Then

'myDataSaved' is a private variable of type 'Boolean' that is set if
data has been saved. If it's not yet saved, a messagebox is shown that
tells the user to save data. In the saving procedure, the Boolean
variable is set.

e.Cancel = True
MessageBox.Show("You must save first.")
Else

Data been saved, so exit-

e.Cancel = False
MessageBox.Show("Goodbye.")
End If
End Sub 'Form1_Cancel

You put it after the call to 'InitializeComponent' in your 'Sub New'.

Hi Herfried,

I did advice 3 hours ago not to use this method, can you descibe why it
should be done in this way and not in the way as it is build in by
Microsoft?

Using 'Handles' is not much different from using 'AddHandler'. I would
do that the way you described too, but I thought it's still important to
tell the OP what the code is doing.

Just my 2 Euro cents...
