Question

How can I get my windows form to do something when it is closed.

Answer 1

Handle the FormClosed event.

To do that, go to the Events tab in the Properties window and double-click the FormClosed event to add a handler for it.

You can then put your code in the generated MyForm_FormClosed handler.

You can also so this by overriding the OnFormClosed method; to do that, type override onformcl in the code window and OnFormClosed from IntelliSense.

If you want to be able to prevent the form from closing, handle the FormClosing event instead, and set e.Cancel to true.
