FolderBrowserDialog Cancel Event C#

Question

I have an issue with dialog forms. Below is a section of C# code which calls the FolderBrowserDialog window. Now when I click "ok" on a folder it will close the dialog so not concerned about that so much. However does anyone know how to detect the cancel event? I have tried looking it up but all I seem to be able to find is "dismiss." Not sure that can help me.

    private void link1add_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        FolderBrowserDialog dialog = new FolderBrowserDialog();
        dialog.ShowDialog(); // Opens Folderdialog
    }

For example something along these lines:

    private void link1add_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        FolderBrowserDialog dialog = new FolderBrowserDialog();
        dialog.ShowDialog(); // Opens Folderdialog
        if (dialog == dialog.Cancel)            
        {
        }
    }

If anyone could shed some light on this I would be very greatful. Thank you for looking.

Try This:

private void link1add_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
        FolderBrowserDialog f = new FolderBrowserDialog();

        if (f.ShowDialog() == System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.Cancel) {
          //handle Cancel
        }
    }

There is no event you need to handle. Just look at the return value of ShowDialog():

var result = dialog.ShowDialog();
if ( result == DialogResult.Cancel )
{
...
}
