Put your code in the KEY-EXIT trigger at form level. I use this code for the same purpose

if :system.mode = 'ENTER-QUERY' then

   note_alert('Query has been cancelled.');    exit_form;
else

   if prompt_user ('Exit Form ?') then

      exit_form;
   end if;
end if;

note_alert and prompt_user are program units that display alerts.
