Closing Forms

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

Hi,

I am currently trying to develop an application for a Symbol barcode scanner
running Windows Pocket PC 2002. The application has a login form , which
then moves to a menu form . The menu form then has buttons which load all
the other forms for the application. My problem is that when the user logins
in for example, I create a new instance of the menu form and call close on
the login form . If I then go check the running programs the login form is
still running? How do I close this form? Sorry I am very new to this! The
code I am executing on the login form is as follows :

Dim MenuForm As New frmMenu
MenuForm.ShowDialog()

Me.Close()

Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Regards
Brian

The code will not reach the Me.Close() line untill the MenuForm is closed.
The ShowDialog() will display the form and not return untill
MenuForm.DialogResult is set to a DialogResult value.

What I did was call my login form from the menu forms onload. On the Login
for I set DialogResult to either cancel or Ok depending on whether or not a
valid User/Password was entered. Below is my menu forms onload.

DialogResult dr;

frmLogon frml = new frmLogon();

frml.ShowDialog();


dr = frml.DialogResult ;


frml.Dispose();

if (dr.Equals(DialogResult.Cancel))

Application.Exit();
