VB.net How to hide dialogue without close the application

I have problem about close() or dispose() fucntion with my barcode reader (Windoes Embeded Compact 7). In this case I can only hide() form.

I tried to show Form2 as dialogue but after I clicked the close button (to hide this form and go back to Form1) It made all of my application close

In Form1 (Main):

Public Sub showForm2()

Dim secForm As New Form2

secForm.ShowDialog()

End Sub

In Form2:

'close button

Private Sub closebt_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object,ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles closebt.Click

Me.Hide()

End Sub

WndProc

Form can't be hidden if it is shown as Dialog. If you want to hide the form then use form.show() rather than form.ShowDialog(). Also here is a link

Go to properties page of the project. In the Application tab, there is a setting:

Choose "When last form closes" to prevent closing the application when your main form closes.
