Hi,

Any built in method that I can call to close a form which will ask for save if datatable is dirty?

Thank you

Are you expecting the BO on the menu form to be dirty? Did you manipulate it or the CurrentDataTable? If so, you could just either save it or undo the changes, to save or loose those changes, programmatically. Do this in the FormClosing event (I pretty sure ).



Or you could just set the AutoAskSaveChanges property on the form to not prompt to save the changes. I'm guessing that it would either just always save or always undo or that you can set what it does if you don't ask to save changes.

You're right, I not see before that I edit the currentDataTable and add a new column next to the fill method on the business object



Question:

I can´t find the AutoAskSaveChanges property on the form, not in designer, not via "me.AutoAskSaveChanges = false", where I can find this?



Thanks for you reply

This is a property on the form.  If you created a standard .NET form and are not using the SF Standard form or inheriting from the SF BaseForm, you will not have this property....and you will have some other problems down the road as it relates to "normal" functionality.  If you select the form in the designer and go to the property sheet, you should see this property.

Sorry I not thinked that AutoAskSaveChanges = AutoShowSaveChangesMessage, I utilized AutoShowSaveChangesMessage on my tests but I supposed that AutoAskSaveChanges have another purpose or something else woops



again I have to say thanks for your great response and sorry for my mistake

No problem.  All of the automation on the form can be both customized to show a different message or turned off completely.  You just have to fish around until you find the property that does what you want it to.  Sometimes the descriptions of the properties help, too (if you can see the description at the bottom of the property sheet, sometimes it's hidden).
