The FormClosingmethod is called by the IMessageFormExinterface when the form is closing.

Syntax

HRESULT FormClosing (
  IMessageFormEx * 
pform,
  IMessage * 
pMsg,
  CLOSINGMSGSTATUS 
eMsgStat
);

Parameters

pform

[in] Reference to the IMessageFormExobject.

pMsg

[in] Reference to the IMessageobject of the message in the form.

eMsgStat

[out] Status of the message, specified by the CLOSINGMSGSTATUSenumeration.

Return Value

This method returns the standard values E_INVALIDARG, E_OUTOFMEMORY, E_UNEXPECTED, and E_FAIL, as well as the following:

S_OK

Indicates success.

Remarks

A race condition can occur when the user replies to a message with a custom form. This occurs when the formhost attempts to close the custom form (causing the HWND references to become invalid), and then immediately create another — creating a COM reference count inconsistency that prevents the custom form window from being destroyed. As a workaround, you can save the HWND references in local variables before notifying the host, and then use them with WM_CLOSEand DestroyWindow.
