[RESOLVED] How to recognize form [X] close?

[memeloo]

I've just found this article on codeproject
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/dialog/CustomDialogs.aspx
and it's quite clear to me. However instead of using ShowDialog I'd like to use a simple Show because it should be a modeless form. I can set the DialogResult to OK or Cancel when I clicked a button and read it in a FormClosed event but how can I set it to Cancel when I clicked on the form's [X] symbol? I just can't figure it out I cannot change the DialogResult in FormClose or FormClosing event because it overwrites this what I've set on button's click.

Then don't use DialogResult value if you can't figure out how to handle it. Declare a public variable in the form to save DialogResult value, after the form is closed, check the public variable.

Like: when OK button is clicked, set the public variable to DialogResult.OK; when Cancel button is clicked or [X] is clicked, set it to DIalogResult.Cancel.

Hope it helps.

oh man, it's always the same, evertime when I ask a question I find the answer few minutes later. Before I asked it here I was looking everywhere with no success *lol* (this must be one of this creazy muphy's laws)

jasonli: that was the problem, I couldn't distinguish when a form was closed by a button and consequently with the Close() function and when with the [X] symbol, now I know how to do it
