What's going on here?

If I run the following code from VS2003 to a PPC 2003 emulator:

static void Main()
{
MessageBox.Show("hi");
Application.Run(new MainForm());
}

The first time it runs I only see the message box. Subsequent runs of
the app on the emulator show the form.

It seems like this is what is happening:
- I click the 'X' on the message box, but the app is still running.
- The form opens but I don't see it.
- When I launch the app subsequent times, the form that already exists
is merely becoming visible.
- When I close the app it doesn't really close.

Is that what's going on here? If so, where is my form after I 'X' the
message box?

After you close the msgbox, you need to bring your app to the foreground.
One way to do this is to pinvoke SetForegroundWindow from the form's Load
event.

If you want your app to really close (rather than minimise), set the form's
MinimizeBox to false.

Cheers
