Running code on Exit with X

spots Knight

I have code that I run if they use the exit button, but I want to trigger the same code if they use the red X to close the window. I've tried adding a handler to This.Close but I get an error because it is a 'Group Method'.

How can I catch the form close event so that my code always runs. (I don't want to just hide the X unless there is NO other way to resolve it).

If you handle the FormClosed event, then it should fire if you call this.Close() or the user presses the X button. For example:

private void btnExit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.Close();
}

private void Form1_FormClosed(object sender, FormClosedEventArgs e)
{
// put your code in here
MessageBox.Show("Form has been closed");
}
