Unfortunately, you can't handle an event from one form on another form. What you'll want to do is handle the Close event on Form A and manually tell Form B about the selected item.

How can I catch a value from one form to another before the form closes?
I have two Windows forms opened in a mainform as mdichildren. In Form A, I have a listbox with numbers. In Form B, I want to catch the selected item of the listbox (from form A) when the user pushes a button and then closes form A. The question is, how can I catch a value from one form to another before the form is closed?
