There is no such problem: an application won't terminate if you don't terminate it yourself. You screw up something; who knows what? First of all, an unhandled exception in a main thread will terminate the application, but you have to catch them on the top stack frame (at least) of each thread. As we cannot know what could you screw up (it could be pretty much everything), the post makes no sense at all.

Hi,
It was not due to an unhandled exception, it happens because the Okay button click was not handled properly.

Solution 1

The most likely explanation is that there is an "OK" key or similar on the form which takes the ENter key - it's acting as an "Accept" button - and that closes the form, which closes the application. Put a breakpoint in each of your button handler code functions and you should find which one pretty easily.

Yes , I didn't notice the "OK" key, that is why this problem happens. The issue resolved on handling the "OK" button. Thank you so much.

Solution 2

Override the OnOK method in your dialog class.
Similarly, to prevent the dialog closing on pressing the escape key, override the OnCancel method in your dialog class.
