App not closing

[Kevin Hood]

Drew:

I don't know if this will help but if you have your main
Form's "ControlBox" property set to "true" but
the "MinimizeBox" property set to "false" (default
is "true") then the top left "X" icon is replaced by
an "OK" icon which shuts down the application when
clicked instead of just minimizing it and leaving it
running.

You must stop the background thread. Threads manually started will keep the
process alive.

Rather then try and kill the thread you would be better off using a boolean
field to signal that the background thread shut itself down.

Yes, that was it. I killed the background thread and it's closing cleanly
now.

Thanks.
