Is this a bug, or am i doing something wrong

In a module I have a sub main which is the start of my app

In this module I have declared an instance of my main form
Public MainForm as new frmMain
and in sub main I call it
MainForm.ShowDialog

I show it as dialog because if I just use Show, then it goes right through sub main and exits the application...

now while i think that in itself is odd, i used showdialog so the app will run while the main form is open. This works fine, but when the user clicks the X button, I set e.cancel = true because its just supposed to minimize to the system tray... but for some reason, even if I set cancel to true, the app then resumes in submain and exits the program....

any ideas?

Here's my Sub Main. Note that I run the app not show the form.

VB Code:

Public Sub Main()
 
    Dim frm As New frmMain
    Application.Run(frm)
    
End Sub

I was thinking the same thing but that still exits the app when using event.Cancel = true in the OnClosing Event

no it seems to work fine actually... setting cancel to true still works when using application.run

thanks!

Hmm. Wonder why it isnt working here.

Blah

I just tried adding e.Cancel = True to the OnClosing event and it works for me as expected. It cancels the close event, the form stays open and the app continues to run just fine.

Im an idiot. I forgot to add handles mybase.closing...
