ChildWindow.Closing Event

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Occurs when the ChildWindow is closing.

Namespace:  System.Windows.Controls
Assembly:  System.Windows.Controls (in System.Windows.Controls.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Event Closing As EventHandler(Of CancelEventArgs)

public event EventHandler<CancelEventArgs> Closing

<sdk:ChildWindow Closing="eventHandler"/>

Remarks

This event occurs immediately after Close is called, and can be handled to cancel the closing of the child window. To cancel the closing of the child window, set the Cancel property to true.

NoteNote:

Closing of the child window cannot be canceled if the application is exiting.

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to handle the Closing event and cancel the closure of the child window. The code checks the content of the Name and Password text boxes when the user clicks OK. If either text box is empty, the closing of the login window is canceled, and another ChildWindow is opened to display instructions to the user. This example is part of a larger example available in the ChildWindow class overview.
