Intercept event for the 'x' button on window

[dky1e]

I want to minimize the window when a user clicks the 'x' button in the control box. How can I prevent the window from closing?
thanks...

ok.. I found a solution by overriding the OnClosing function:


protected override void OnClosing( System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs e )
{
e.Cancel = true;
this.WindowState = System.Windows.Forms.FormWindowState.Minimized;
}


But I'm not sure if its enough, that is what happens when the program exits?

Have you tried hooking the public event, CancelEventHandler. According to the remarks from the documentation:


The Closing event occurs as the form is being closed. When a form is closed, all resources created within the object are released and the form is disposed. If you cancel this event, the form remains opened. To cancel the closure of a form, set the Cancel property of the CancelEventArgs passed to your event handler to true.
