Cancel OnFinishButtonClick() Event

Posted 18 years ago by Actipro Software Support - Cleveland, OH, USA

Hi Rommel,

There is no need to have an e.Cancel in the Finish button event handler because that event handler is where you execute code like "this.Close();" to close a Form. If the data on the last page is invalid, simply don't execute your close code.

Thanks for the reply,

It isn't that straight-forward though, which is the reason why I posted in the first place. You see, I don't have any code that explicitly states "Me.Close()". Actually, the event handler for the FinishButtonClick event is empty. In spite of this, if I click the Finish button at runtime, the wizard closes. This is not what I expected and it's why I am baffled.

Any ideas?

Ahh yes, I forgot to mention that. In a recent maintenance release we set up the Button to have a DialogResult.OK. We have written down to make that configurable for the next maintenance release. If you iterate through the Wizard control structure after the wizard loads, look for the Finish button and set its DialogResult to None. That will work around it for now until the next release.

Hi,

I'm now revisiting this situation from where we left off, sorry about the extensive delay. You said to iterate through the control structure so I tried the following code:


Dim ctlTemp As Control

For Each ctlTemp In wizard.Controls

Next

The thing is, ctlTemp.Name always returns an empty string, and ctlTemp.GetType.ToString returns types such as "_9" and "_12". That's a dead-end for me.

Could you show me what you meant by iterating through the control structure to get at the Finish button?

Thanks.

Actually I believe the maint release with the fix for your problem is now available so no need to do this any more. Check out the release notes for the latest version.

Ok,

I've been making life unneccessarily difficult :-) All I needed to do was to set Me.DialogResult = DialogResult.None to stop the wizard from closing during the OnFinishButtonClick() override.

Thanks for the input anyways :-)

Anyhow in the latest release there is a new property for controlling what the Finish button's DialogResult is.

Sorry, I didn't see your reply before I posted that last item. I'll check the new release, thanks again :-)

The latest build of this product (v24.1.0) was released 2 months ago, which was after the last post in this thread.
