Derek Hart I have a main form that is open by using: Application.Run(New fFormCriteria) And then I have a form that runs invisible that is open by using: Dim myForm As New fVersionTimer The fFormCriteria form is the form that the user will close to exit the program. How do I detect the Form_Closing event on frmVersionTimer? Is it possible? Derek Hart Reply to this message...        Herfried K.

Why doesn't the handler trigger since it is an event in the form? Derek Hart "Herfried K.

Code like this: Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim f2 As New Form2(Me) End Sub 'In Form2, create a new constructor for passing Form1's reference Dim p As Form1 Public Sub New(ByVal parent As Form1) MyBase.New() Me.p = parent AddHandler Me.p.Closing, AddressOf ParentForm_Closing 'This call is required by the Windows Form Designer. InitializeComponent() End Sub Public Sub New() MyBase.New() 'This call is required by the Windows Form Designer. InitializeComponent() 'Add any initialization after the InitializeComponent() call End Sub Private Sub ParentForm_Closing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs) MessageBox.Show("abc") End Sub ======================================= Please apply my suggestion above and let me know if it helps resolve your problem.
