It appears to me that me.close() will completely kill the application, while
the controlbox's X button only hides the program. Is this correct?

If not, could I be possibly causing this behaviour inadvertantly?

If so, why? And how can I make it completely kill my program when the user
clicks the X?

Is there an unload type event, as we used to use in v6, that lets us know
the app is closing?

What event does one use to capture the user clicking the control box's X?

Wapiti,

This is a FAQ item because the behavior is so completely non-intuitive. If
you set your main form's MinimizeBox to false, the X will become OK and
clicking it will be the same as calling Close. Here's a link to the entire
FAQ:

Thanks Ginny, that did it. Now why didn't I think of using that method... ?
