Question

How can I prevent window closing by showing a MessageBox? (Technology:WinForms with C#)

When the close event occurs I want the following code to be run:

private void addFile_FormClosing( object sender, FormClosingEventArgs e ) {
    var closeMsg = MessageBox.Show( "Do you really want to close?", "Warning", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Question );

    if (closeMsg == DialogResult.Yes) {
        //close addFile form
    } else {
        //ignore closing event
    }
}

Answer 1

private void Form1_FormClosing(object sender, FormClosingEventArgs e) {
    var window = MessageBox.Show(
        "Close the window?", 
        "Are you sure?", 
        MessageBoxButtons.YesNo);

    e.Cancel = (window == DialogResult.No);
}
