events

When a user clicks on the little red "x" a.k.a. the form close button on the form command bar, what even is activated besides FormClosed()

I know FormClosing() is called, but I cannot really stop the form from closing after my code is run. I want to be able to show a messagebox that asks if the user wants to exit the form or not. Obviously if they click no, I want the form to stay open, how would I do this?
