How do I close a form when a user clicks outside the form's window?

Question

I want to close a System.Windows.Forms.Form if the user clicks anywhere outside it. I\'ve tried using IMessageFilter, but even then none of the messages are passed to PreFi

If it is a child form in an MDI application, you could trap the click in the parent form, otherwise the solution will be messy.

I am not convinced what you suggest represents intuitive UI behaviour anyway. Are you sure that is the best design?
