Form..::.OnClosed Method

Raises the Closed event.

Namespace:  System.Windows.Forms
Assembly:  System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)
Visual Basic
Protected Overridable Sub OnClosed ( _
    e As EventArgs _
)
C#
protected virtual void OnClosed(
    EventArgs e
)
Visual C++
protected:
virtual void OnClosed(
    EventArgs^ e
)
F#
abstract OnClosed : 
        e:EventArgs -> unit 
override OnClosed : 
        e:EventArgs -> unit 

Parameters

e
Type: System..::.EventArgs
The EventArgs that contains the event data.
Caution noteCaution

The OnClosed method is obsolete in the .NET Framework version 2.0; use the OnFormClosed method instead.

Raising an event invokes the event handler through a delegate. For more information, see Raising an Event.

The OnFormClosed method also allows derived classes to handle the event without attaching a delegate. Overriding this method is the preferred technique for handling the event in a derived class.

Caution noteCaution

The OnClosed and OnClosing methods are not called when the Application..::.Exit method is called to exit your application. If you have validation code in either of these methods that must be executed, you should call the Form..::.Close method for each open form individually before calling the Exit method.

Notes to Implementers

When overriding OnClosed in a derived class, be sure to call the base class's OnClosed method so that registered delegates receive the event.

The following code example demonstrates how to override the OnClosed method in a class derived from Form .

Visual Basic
Public Class myForm
    Inherits Form

    Protected Overrides Sub OnClosed(ByVal e As EventArgs)
        MessageBox.Show("The form is now closing.", "Close Warning", _
            MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Warning)
        MyBase.OnClosed(e)
    End Sub

    Public Sub New()
        MyBase.New()
    End Sub

End Class

C#
public class myForm:
    Form

{
    protected override void OnClosed(EventArgs e)
    {
        MessageBox.Show("The form is now closing.", 
            "Close Warning", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Warning);
        base.OnClosed(e);
    }

    public myForm() : base()
    {        
    }

}

Visual C++
public ref class myForm: public Form
{
protected:
   virtual void OnClosed( EventArgs^ e ) override
   {
      MessageBox::Show( "The form is now closing.", "Close Warning", MessageBoxButtons::OK, MessageBoxIcon::Warning );
      Form::OnClosed( e );
   }

public:
   myForm()
      : Form()
   {}

};
