How to manage multiform window application?

Question

I am writing an application using several forms. All the forms share the same menu so they are all derived from the same frmBaseMenu I wrote. The problem is when The X button or the exit menu item are pressed (to close the application) only the form which was originally generated using the Application.Run method is closed and the others are still running in the backgroud and have to be shut from the Task manager. I lloked all over the site to find an article about doing this stuff but couldn't find any.

Thanks. After some thinking and trying stuff I decided to go that way. I found a problem (for me) using MDI forms. I'll post it under a different thread.

You should probably change your application to use MDI (multiple document interface) Just set your main forms MidParent to true and then make other windows Mdi child windows of the main window. There are plenty of examples for this in .net documentation.
