Change Close button in window form

Is there a way to change the command of the (x) Button?

I want to show another form and hide the current form instead of closing the program.

where should I put this? :

Me.Hide()
Form.Show()

I tried puttin it on the Form Closing/Closed Event, but nothing happen, am I missing something?

Sure, the FormClosing event is made to do that. You'll need to pay attention to the reason the form is being closed, something like this:

Protected Overrides Sub OnFormClosing(ByVal e As FormClosingEventArgs)
    MyBase.OnFormClosing(e)
    If Not e.Cancel AndAlso e.CloseReason = CloseReason.UserClosing Then
        e.Cancel = True
        Dim frm = New Form2()
        frm.Show()
        Me.Hide()
    End If
End Sub

Do note that you have to give a way for your user to terminate the app.
