What do you mean by "stop"; you can close a form by calling this line from within it:

Me.Close()

Or, if you have the form instance of the form you wish to close stored in a variable:

frm.Close() 'replace frm with the form instance variable

 

Note that you cannot simply say

Form2.Close()

because Form2 is the form's class, and all forms are instances of that class. You can't call non-static methods on a class (which Close is not) itself, only instances of that class.

 

This is valid:

Dim frm As New Form1() 'creates an [i]instance[/i] of the form

frm.Close() 'show the instance of the form

 

This is not:

Form1.Close() 'attempts to show the actual form class, rather than an instance

I would just set the FormBorderStyle of the Form to None.

I long to accomplish great and noble tasks, but it is my chief duty to accomplish humble tasks as though they were great and noble. The world is moved along, not only by the mighty shoves of its heroes, but also by the aggregate of the tiny pushes of each honest worker.

 

- Helen Keller
