Base Form with button - need to handle event

[XTnCIS]

I want to have a base form where I define a button (btnExit) through the code and the base form contains an event handler to execute me.close

I have the base form created. I can create the button through code and I used the
Public WithEvents BtnExit as system.windows.forms.button

I created a sub with me.close that has the 'handles BtnExit.Click' statement.

But... when I 'run' a child form, I can see the Exit button but clicking it doesn't do anything.

Can anyone help me. What do I have to do to get the child form to use the sub from the base form that should execute the me.close statement?

are you handling the btnExit.click event on your child form? If so, you'll need to call MyBase.[close sub name]

Use Dispose() or Application.Exit or End instead of Close().

Dispose only kills the active form.

Application.Exit and End kill the program.

I hope this helps.
