Cancel closing

[stealthsid]

I saw the recent post on how to hide the closing button. I need something different. I basically want to do this:

void dockPanel3_Closing(object sender, System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs e)

{

        dockPanel3.Visible =

false;

        e.Cancel =

true;

}

Instead of closing the dockPanel, I just want to hide it so that I can reconstitute it later without losing its contents.

Currently, the "Closing" event is never called, even when I close the whole application.

Thanks.

Hi Sidney,

To hide DockPanel call Hide() method of DockPanel object instance.

 dockPanel3.Hide();

And vice versa; in order to show DockPanel you can use Show() method

 dockPanel3.Show();

This operation only Shows/Hides the DockPanel instance, and does not make changes to its content.

If you have additional questions, please contact us.

Thank you for the reply, however the problem that I have is that the "Closing" method is never fired, so I can't intercept the closing event to cause it to do something other than close.

How do I intercept, and cancel, the closing event?
