Write the wrapper. You can do it in a couple of ways:

1. Wrapper that that sets up a private variable and the Unload event of the form class sets the value of the private variable.

2. Wrapper that reads a property of the form. The return button hides the form instead of releasing it. When the form becomes invisible, execution will continue in your wrapper program.
