showdialog form closes and mdi flashes

Ken
Hello,

I have a small VB.NET form that I open with a showdialog. When it
closes, the entire mdi form flashes. This app is developed with VS
2003 and runs on Windows 2000.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Ken

Where do you open the form? Please provide more details.

This is an MDI app. The user opens a VB.NET form to enter product
information. From a menu item, the user can them open the smaller form
with a ShowDialog command. The menu triggers and event in the product
form to open the smaller form. In the simplest situation only these
two forms are open in the MDI.

When the smaller form is closed, the entire MDI flashes. The users do
not like it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi all, I have a main window application Form A that calls ShowDialog() of Form B in the Click event of Form A. Sometimes when I hit the cancel button on Form B, Form B closes and SURPRISINGLY Form A closes as well (ie. the whole application exits). Anyone knows what happens here?
