Hi Joe,

It just because your apllication will goes out of the ShowForm method only when you make a "Clear events" command to Cancel the "Read Events" command. Generaly the "Clear events" command fire only when the user select Quit in the menu or something like that...

(so unlike the user select quit option your application loop to wait events)

Hope this Help ...
Rock
