I want that the form will not close by doing Alt + F4 but if Application.Exit()
or this.Close
is called from the same Form, it should be closed.
I tried CloseReason.UserClosing
but still no help.

If you need to filter out Alt + F4 event only (leaving clicking of close box, this.Close()
and Application.Exit()
to behave as usual) then I can suggest the following:
KeyPreview
property to true
;Wire up form's FormClosing
and KeyDown
events:
private void Form1_FormClosing(object sender, FormClosingEventArgs e)
{
if (_altF4Pressed)
{
if (e.CloseReason == CloseReason.UserClosing)
e.Cancel = true;
_altF4Pressed = false;
}
}
private bool _altF4Pressed;
private void Form1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Alt && e.KeyCode == Keys.F4)
_altF4Pressed = true;
}
It's very easy you can do it by set SuppressKeyPress property to true on Form_Keydown EventHandler as below.
if (e.KeyCode == Keys.F4 && e.Alt)
{
e.SuppressKeyPress = true;
}
With this you can also close your active form by set SuppressKeyPress Property to false on same eventHandller or any other way.
Capture Alt+F4 hotkey by setting Form's KeyPreview property to true and overriding OnProcessCmdKey method.
How did you use CloseReason?
See the sample code here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.form.formclosing.aspx
You need to set the Cancel property of the passed FormClosingEventArgs object to stop the form closing.
