.ShowDialog

[SiJP]

I'm having a problem displaying a Modal form. Using the code below, the form I intend to open as modal seems to open then close immediately.

frmMain is created as follows:

Public Shared oMainForm As New frmMain 'in class module

Sub Main(ByVal cmdArgs() As String)
    oMainForm.Show()
    Application.Run()
End Sub

frmMain has a menu item that has code as follows, to open frmDialog:

    Dim oForm As New frmDialog
    oForm.ShowDialog()

Why, using the above code, does frmDialog open the close immediately?

Thanks,

SiJP, just to make sure we're on the same page, make a new project with this code:

Public Sub Main
  dim f as new form
  f.show
end sub

Then change it to this code:

Public Sub Main
  dim f as new form
  f.showdialog
end sub

The first block of code will flash the form then end. The second will display the Form and end when the form is closed.
