stop the application

[fheyn]

hi,
I'm working on a program, which once startet will run for-
ever, looking form time to time for files within a specific
folder. If found it will process these files.
To stop the program I createt a tray-icon. When clicked-on
it shows a dialog which allows to stop the programm. If no
action is taken, it will hide after a few seconds.
problem : if no files are found the dialogbox can be shown
and the program can be stopped. However if files are found
once the dialog is shown it won't hide and won't allow stopping the program.
Anyone out there with a solution to this problem?
thanks in advance

Ok . . . so your problem is the following. . .
>However if files are found
once the dialog is shown it won't hide and won't allow stopping the program

How and what are you using as the "dialog"?
How are you hiding the "dialog"?

hi tb,
thanks for replying
I will be it bit more specific now.
action when clicking on tray-icon :
Dlg.Show
Dlg.TrayTimer.Enabled = True
Dlg.lblStatus.Caption = "Status : " & sStatus
then
Private Sub DlgTimer_Timer()
Dlg.Hide
DlgTimer.Enabled = False
End Sub
and
Private Sub cbStop_Click()
End
End Sub
