Question

I am coding a Windows form based application in C#.

When I click on the red cross(x) on the top right corner of the windows it should not stop the execution of the program. It should instead go to next part of the program. What do I need to do in order to have my program behave this way?

Answer 1

You can use the form closing event to cancel the closing of the form. In the designer click the lighting symbol in the properties and double click the form closing entry. This should make the code for you. It should make a function a bit like this:

private void Form1_FormClosing(object sender, FormClosingEventArgs e)
{
    e.Cancel = true;
}

You need to add the e.Cancel that will stop the form closing
