Form.Deactivate Event

Definition

Occurs when an active form becomes inactive. This API is obsolete. For information about how to develop ASP.NET mobile applications, see Mobile Apps & Sites with ASP.NET.

public:
 event EventHandler ^ Deactivate;
public event EventHandler Deactivate;
member this.Deactivate : EventHandler 
Public Custom Event Deactivate As EventHandler 

Event Type

Remarks

A form becomes inactive under the following circumstances:

  • When the ActiveForm property of the page is programmatically set to another form.

  • When the user navigates to a form through a Link control whose target is a form.

If neither of these actions occurs, the active form will never receive a Deactivate event. This event's position in the event chain makes it very important in resetting the child controls, data set, or global variables.
