1 form = 1 process?

[Tim Johnson]

I've been noticing that for each form I show in my app, using ShowDialog (a
shows b, b shows c, c shows d), I see a copy of my app in the
Settings/Memory/Running Programs. Sometimes killing 1 kills them all,
sometimes not (not sure of the context yet). What's that all about?

That list is not of processes; it is of top level windows hence your
observation.

There is no "sometimes". If you close the main form (the one shown with
Application.Run) your app will close (If MinimizeBox=false) otherwise it is
just the form that closes.

Thanks. What I meant by "sometimes" is when the app gets hung during
development, closing any 1 closes all of them, after a "not responding"
window pops. Which makes sense too.
