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.

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.
