Can someone please tell me what event gets fired when the x in the top RH
corner of a Windows Form gets clicked.
I've spent about a day trying to find this information to no avail. I am
trying to trap the event to allow the user to confirm that they wish to exit
the application.

TIA
 
Hi John,

Put this code in Form Closing event:
if (MessageBox.Show ("Exit", "exit", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo) ==
DialogResult.No)
e.Cancel = true;
 
You should trap the Closing event. The arguments supplied are a
CancelEventArgs that enable you to ask the user and cancel the close if
desired.

'Closing', 'Closed' (if the form is closed).
