Form.OnClosed(EventArgs) Method

Definition

Raises the Closed event.

C#
protected virtual void OnClosed(EventArgs e);

Parameters

e
EventArgs

The EventArgs that contains the event data.

Examples

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

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()
    {        
    }
}

Remarks

Caution

The OnClosed method is obsolete starting with the .NET Framework 2.0; use the OnFormClosed method instead.

Raising an event invokes the event handler through a delegate. For more information, see Handling and Raising Events.

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

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 Inheritors

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