Why does my hidden form cause my application to exit?

[SDittmar]

Im using a notify icon control and i wanna have the form hidden while the icon is in the tray. I set "me.visible = false" but this causes the showdialog method to end. Is there any way to hide the form without the showdialog method ending?

 

thanx for any replies

Are you using ShowDialog in a Sub Main to show your form? This

sounds like the case, and if it is, you should use Application.Run

to show the form instead. Then you can still hide and show it,

and your program should not exit.

 

In Sub Main:

Dim myForm As New Form1()

Application.Run(myForm)

It worked! thanx
