code to minimize running program

[Douglas]

Im trying to find a way to minimize my running program. I know there is the sizable form border but I have that set to none because If you click the X it leaves some of the program running with now no way to stop it except from task manager. What I think would work good for me is to use a basic button click to minimize it.

    "Private Sub BasicButton5_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles BasicButton5.Click
     
     End Sub"
Any suggestions on the code to put in there? or maybe there is a better way.
Thanks in advance

Maybe this:

Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized

... If you click the X it leaves some of the program running with now no way to stop it except from task manager...

I would take the time to fix that issue, that is not right.

Im not sure how i would fix this, the problem is i have a few pages that do trending, so i when i close that page it forgets all the trend data, so what i do is just hide it when switching pages. But with doing this its always running in the background and the entire project wont close with form x button. I have an exit button that closes all the open pages. There very well could be a better way, Im not very good with this type of programming. im defiantly open to suggestions

Feel free to look at one of my projects I have shared, but the concept is to put code that needs to run all of the time on a form that is open all of the time.  Almost every project will have a header, footer, nav bar, etc.  Put your code in there.
