how to cancel 'close form' action?

[Alex]

hi anyone,

I need to cancel a close form action in my application if
some condition is true..
I want to give a message and leave the form opened, even
though the button "close" was pressed.
How to do it?

thanks in advance.

Cancel the Unload event of the form.

Ultimately, there is not a very nice way to achieve this, as you can get
conflicting messages in Form_BeforeUpdate, Form_Error, and Form_Unload
events.
