Good practice would be to make code that does not need to know this.
Reason: If for some reason the next version of something makes a new way of
closing a window - you would have to change your code accordingly.
You should make the code to flag a success-return whereever this is needed
and you should take anything else as a cancel.

So - your dialog probably will have a static execute method, which creates
the dialog - runs it modal and returns the result - you should set the
result value to cancel in your constructor - and change it whereever you
select to return something else.

If you are in a situation where you have to know - you should override
WndProc and make special code for the message that origines from the X
button.

Can't use the "Closing" event as I have to distinguish between a closing of
the form after a selection made and an abortion (which happens when the user
just closes the modal form by the forms Close ("X") button.
