ToolStripDropDown.Closing Event

Note: This event is new in the .NET Framework version 2.0.

Occurs when the ToolStripDropDown control is about to close.

Namespace: System.Windows.Forms
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in system.windows.forms.dll)

'Declaration
Public Event Closing As ToolStripDropDownClosingEventHandler
'Usage
Dim instance As ToolStripDropDown
Dim handler As ToolStripDropDownClosingEventHandler

AddHandler instance.Closing, handler

/** @event */
public void add_Closing (ToolStripDropDownClosingEventHandler value)

/** @event */
public void remove_Closing (ToolStripDropDownClosingEventHandler value)

JScript supports the use of events, but not the declaration of new ones.

For more information about handling events, see Consuming Events.

The following code example demonstrates how to selectively close a ToolStripDropDown control by handling the Closing event

' This method handles the Closing event. The ToolStripDropDown
' control is not allowed to close unless the Done menu item
' is clicked or the Close method is called explicitly.
' The Done menu item is enabled only after both of the other
' menu items have been selected.
Private Sub contextMenuStrip_Closing(sender As Object, e As ToolStripDropDownClosingEventArgs) Handles contextMenuStrip1.Closing
   If e.CloseReason <> ToolStripDropDownCloseReason.CloseCalled Then
      If subItem1ToolStripMenuItem.Checked AndAlso subItem2ToolStripMenuItem.Checked AndAlso doneToolStripMenuItem.Enabled Then
         ' Reset the state of menu items.
         subItem1ToolStripMenuItem.Checked = False
         subItem2ToolStripMenuItem.Checked = False
         doneToolStripMenuItem.Enabled = False
         
         ' Allow the ToolStripDropDown to close.
         ' Don't cancel the Close operation.
         e.Cancel = False
      Else
         ' Cancel the Close operation to keep the menu open.
         e.Cancel = True
         Me.toolStripStatusLabel1.Text = "Close canceled"
      End If
   End If
 End Sub
