ChildWindow.Close Method
Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.
Closes a ChildWindow.
Namespace: System.Windows.Controls
Assembly: System.Windows.Controls (in System.Windows.Controls.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Sub Close
public void Close()
Remarks
By default, a user can close a ChildWindow in one of two ways:
SHIFT+CTRL+F4.
Close button.
These mechanisms will always set the DialogResult to false.
The typical way to programmatically close a ChildWindow is to set the DialogResult value. Setting the DialogResult automatically calls the Close method.
You can also call the Close method directly to close a ChildWindow. This will always set the DialogResult to false.
You can cancel the closing of the child window in the event handler of the Closing event.
Examples
The following example demonstrates a child window that closes automatically when the video it contains has ended. This example is part of a larger example available in the ChildWindow class overview.
Private Sub splashMedia_MediaEnded(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs)
Me.Close()
End Sub
private void splashMedia_MediaEnded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
this.Close();
}
