What exactly do you mean by "Control box oy Main form"? Is it another dialog with a cancel button? Or is the cancel button a child of the Main form? Is the Main form opened as a dialog with your button set as its cancel button?

Hi,

You can close the application using the following way.

C#

private void frmMainMDI_FormClosing(Object sender, FormClosingEventArgs e)
       {
          Application.Exit();

       }

That is not necessarily a good idea - it does not allow the form to be re-used in another application.
It is better for the app to be closed by the normal methods.

It depends on how you are doing this.
If you are opening the login form from the Main method, and on sucessfull login you are hiding the login form and showing the main form, then it depends on how you are showing it:

If you use ShowDialog, then just add a Close to the login form immediately after the ShowDialog call.
If you are using Show, then add a handler to the main form FormClosed event and call Close from there.

If you are doing something else, then we need to know what, as we can't see your screen, access your HDD, or read your mind. We can only work with what you tell us! :laugh:
