VB.net How to hide dialogue without close the application

I have problem about close() or dispose() function with my barcode reader (Windows Embedded Compact 7). In this case I can only hide() form.

I tried to show Form2 as dialogue but after I clicked the close button (to hide this form and go back to Form1) It made all of my application close

In Form1 (Main):

Public Sub showForm2()

    Dim secForm As New Form2

    secForm.ShowDialog()

End Sub

In Form2:

'close button  

Private Sub closebt_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object,ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles closebt.Click 

    Me.Hide() 

End Sub

Go to properties page of the project. In the Application tab, there is a setting:

  • Shutdown mode
    • When startup form closes
    • When last form closes

Choose "When last form closes" to prevent closing the application when your main form closes.

Form can't be hidden if it is shown as Dialog. If you want to hide the form then use form.show() rather than form.ShowDialog(). Also here is a link
