RadRibbonForm Closing Child and Form1

[Robert Canal]

I am new to Windows Form application, I normally right web apps. so sorry to sound stupid.

I have a login window ("ShapedForm") that Opens a RadRibbonForm. 

RadRibbonForm1 FRM1 = new RadRibbonForm1()
FRM1.Show();
this.Hide();

Problem is, if you click the "x" in the upper right corner the RadRibbonForm it closes the Form but the "ShapedForm" (Hidden) stayes open. Can you help me fix it so if the "x" on any of the child forms it kills the application.

Thanks

I found a hecked way to do what I want, but if anyone has a better solution please let me know.....

On my Login in button i added

RadRibbonForm1 frm2 = new RadRibbonForm1();
frm2.FormClosed += new FormClosedEventHanddler(frm_FormClosed);
frm2.Show();
this.Hide();

private void frm2_formClosed(object sender, FormClosedEventArgs e)
{
this.Close();
}

Hello Robert,

I can suggest a very simple yet brutal solution to this problem, if you are sure you want to close the entire application, you can just use:

Environment.Exit(0);

This will close everything, always.

But i have to emphasize this is a brutal solution, if you need any more data from the child form before closing i would recommend using your the solution you already found or one of the many solutions available out there.

Hope this helps, if you have any other questions or comments, please let me know,

Best Regards,

Hello Robert Canal,

Thanks for getting back to us.

Please, look into the FormClosed event - it should provide you with a solution to your problem. Note that our forms are very close to the standard forms in terms of functioanlity, so if you are able to do this with a standard windows form, the approach will also work for us.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have other questions.
