i have a multiple form project in vb.net 2003.from my main form i activate the 2nd and from 2nd 3rd and so on.but the problem is when im going back from higher 3rd to 2nd and from 2nd to first, the closing event of my mainform doesnt seem to be working. well i have it me.close but it is still in debugging mode. i could only make it stop thru the stop button.

appreciate your help... thanks

does clicking the X at the top right of the form not close the form?

[cimpercee]

yes. its just hiding. i can make it stop only by stop debugging/

the problem is that you have something that is still running.

For instance, I get the same problem if I am multi-threading and I don't end a thread, or if I have a loop that isn't stopped, etc.

so i guess its because the other forms are set to .hide...so how do i end it? when i put it to close i got errors.

i have these codes for my 2nd form and 3rd closing event

form2_closing(byval sender as object,byval e as system.componentmodel.canceleventargs) handles mybase.closing

dim frm as new form1
me.hide() / <---- when i change this to close it either closes or errors. i forgot coz im not on my pc, just posting from someones'

Thats because you are trying to close your main form, hence the Me. Try using the name of the form that you are closing.

form2.Close()

Or if you have created the form by instantiating it, then close it using the name that you created it under.
For example:

Dim frm2 as New Form2

frm2.Close()

Do not use Me.Close()

Use Application.Exit()

This will exit the whole program even if there are other forms that are still open or hidden.

"end" works well also, it will close whole application too.
