void fileExitMenuItem_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{

}
Private Sub fileExitMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As RoutedEventArgs)
    ' Close this window
    Me.Close()
End Sub

Remarks

A Window can be closed using one of several, well-known, system-provided mechanisms located in its title bar, including:

  • ALT+F4.
  • System menu | Close.
  • Close button.

A Window can also be closed using one of several well-known mechanisms within the client area that are provided by developers, including:

  • File > Exit on a main window.
  • File > Close or a Close button on a child window.

Note

OK and Cancel buttons on a dialog box are also developer-provided, although will likely set DialogResult, which automatically closes a window that was opened by calling ShowDialog.

These mechanisms require you to explicitly call Close to close a window.

Note

If a window, opened by calling ShowDialog, and with a Button with its IsCancel property set to true, will automatically close when the button is either clicked, or ESC is pressed. If the window was opened using Show, however, Close must be explicitly called, such as from Click event handler for the Button.

Closing a window causes the Closing event to be raised. If the Closing event isn't canceled, the following occurs:

Note

This method cannot be called when a window is hosted in a browser.
