Catching Child Form Closing.Cancel = true

[MikeB]

Hi,

I'm using RadDock and I am trying to find a way within the RadDock.DockWindowClosing event handler to know if the form on the ActiveWindow has set Cancel = true in the Form.Closing handler.  I manually close the form in the DockWindowClosing handler like this:

  103             HostWindow window = dockMain.ActiveWindow as HostWindow;

  104             Form form = window.Content.FindForm();

  105             form.Close();

The form object is the correct form.  There may be a reason why the form should not be closed and will set 
the Cancel property to true;  I can not find a way to detect this state.  I really need to be able to cancel 
a DockWindowClosing event based on the underlying form closing event.
How can I do this?

Thanks,
Mike

Hi,

I found a way to do what I need to do.  If you have a more elegant solution, please let me know.

Thanks,

   93         private void dockMain_DockWindowClosing(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.Docking.DockWindowCancelEventArgs e)

   94         {

   95             HostWindow window = e.DockWindow as HostWindow;

   96             Form form = window.Content.FindForm();

   97             form.Close();

   98             if( !form.IsDisposed)

   99                 e.Cancel = true;

  100         }

  101 

  102         private void dockMain_DockWindowAdded(object sender, DockWindowEventArgs e)

  103         {

  104             e.DockWindow.CloseAction = DockWindowCloseAction.CloseAndDispose;

  105         }

  106 

  107         private void frmMainRad_FormClosing(object sender, FormClosingEventArgs e)

  108         {

  109             while( dockMain.DockWindows.Count > 0)

  110             {

  111                 DockWindow dockWin = dockMain.DockWindows[dockMain.DockWindows.Count-1];

  112                 dockWin.Close();

  113                 if (!dockWin.IsDisposed)

  114                 {

  115                     e.Cancel = true;

  116                     return;

  117                 }

  118             }

  119         }

Hi Michael,

You can do this in a very simple way:

The Close method of the Form will generate the following events:

- Closing
- If accepted, Close
- Dispose

So, you may simply check for IsDisposed property after you call the Close method. If it is false, then the Form is prevented from closing. If it is true, then the Form is successfully closed.

This doesnt seem to be the case if the form is an MDI child of a RadDock.
