Improved Close Event

[RandomCoder]

Is it possible to add a value within the Form Closing Event that shows whether the Close Event was triggered by a Cick or a Windows command (such as shutting down).
This would allow us to selectively use the CancelClose property.

Thanks,

I think that can be already done by using the sender keyword...
Checking if the close event was triggered by a known control, wich can be listed with the controls array...

The Sender keyword will not help here.
It will always have the value of the closing form
Sender can be helpful when you have one sub that handles events of several controls.

It will always have the value of the closing form.

Didnt thought of that....

But is it possible to distinguish if a click event or a windows message was responsible for the form closing?

PS I'm attempting to use DZT's Event magic to work my own temporary solution (first got to cook tea for the ankle biters, but will try again later following Agraham's advice)

I don't think that it is possible with managed code.
