The problem is: you cannot close main window without closing the application. For this reason, Window.Hide is used instead of closing. You can prevent closing the form by the user handling the event Closing or, better, overriding the method OnClosing. You can prevent "real" closing of the form by assigning CancelEventArgs.Cancel to true.

See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.window.closing.aspx[^], http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.window.onclosing.aspx[^].

Generally, such design showing forms alternatively is not recommended. It's much better to use just one form showing different parts of it and hiding others. One of the nice forms of is is tabbed UI based on TabControl.

Except, if this is your main form, then the whole form will close.
