Multiple Dialogs, but closing one closes them all

[RichardF]

Hi,

My app may open several instances of the same form. However closing the first form ( this is the one with the [STAThread], Application.Run etc ) then all instances of that form close at the same time.

Is there a way round this ?

Thanks
Rich.

Application.Run(form) is the process that keeps your application alive.

create a hidden form which opens your other instances and only shuts down the application after all instances have been closed.

either that or be a tidy bod and use an mdi container.

Umm.... try moving the Application.Run() to a separate class which has its own ApplicationContext. You can then launch multiple forms from that class and the class will get destroyed only when all forms are closed.
