Form hiding in background

VB

Hi,

I am working on a project in VB.net 2008. I have a problem arising while opening a form as modal from a modeless form. I have attached a project to demonstrate the problem. This demonstration contains three forms with following characteristics.

- "Form1" is main form of the demo application and

- "Form2" is opened as modeless form through "Form1". It is hidden (using me.hide() method) instead of closing and Cancel the closing in closing event of "Form2".

- "Form3" is opened as modal form through "Form2".

Now problem is when I hide "Form2" after closing "Form3", "Form1" also hides in the background (when some other windows are also open i.e. Windows explorer). I am unable to find a reason for this behavior. This should looks like a common problem and must be encountered by someone else but I am unable to find it on internet. So please help as I need reason and solution for this problem.

Regards,

Hassan
