Events on CancelButton and FormClose - Wizard for Windows Forms Forum

Posted 18 years ago by Logicway

I am using events on OnCancelButtonClick and OnFormClosing.
It seems that OnCancelButtonClick-events fires also the OnFormClosing-event.

        protected override void OnCancelButtonClick(EventArgs e)
        {
            DialogResult cancel = new DialogResult();
            cancel = MessageBox.Show("Are you sure?", "?", MessageBoxButtons.OKCancel, MessageBoxIcon.Warning);
            if (cancel == DialogResult.OK)
            {
                this.Close();
            }
        }

        protected override void OnFormClosing(FormClosingEventArgs e)
        {
            DialogResult close = new DialogResult();
            close = MessageBox.Show("Do you want to exit?", "?", MessageBoxButtons.OKCancel, MessageBoxIcon.Warning);
            if (close == DialogResult.OK)
            {
                e.Cancel = false;
            }
            else if (close == DialogResult.Cancel)
            {
                e.Cancel = true;
            }
        }

When the user clicks the cancelbutton and clicks OK on the dialog, this fires again a dialog.
How can I prevent this?

Maybe don't show the MessageBox in the Cancel button click event handler. Just call the Close method. That way only the MessageBox in OnFormClosing will show.

This is how I made it working.
The FinishButton and CancelButton are calling Application.Exit() and closes the wizard without raising the OnFormClosing event.

        protected override void OnFinishButtonClick(EventArgs e)
        {
            Application.Exit();
        }

        protected override void OnCancelButtonClick(EventArgs e)
        {
            DialogResult cancel = new DialogResult();
            cancel = MessageBox.Show("Do you want to cancel?", "Cancel", 
                     MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, 
                     MessageBoxIcon.Warning, 
                     MessageBoxDefaultButton.Button2);
            if (cancel == DialogResult.Yes)
                Application.Exit();
        }

        protected override void OnFormClosing(FormClosingEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.CloseReason == CloseReason.UserClosing)
            {
                DialogResult close = new DialogResult();
                close = MessageBox.Show("Do you want exit?", "Exit",
                        MessageBoxButtons.YesNo,
                        MessageBoxIcon.Warning,
                        MessageBoxDefaultButton.Button2);
                if (close == DialogResult.Yes)
                    e.Cancel = false;
                else
                    e.Cancel = true;
            }

            base.OnFormClosing(e);
        }
