How can i catch Window taskbar closing Event in VB 6.0? - vb6

I'm just a newbie.
The problem is when I close the form from taskbar the program actually doesn't close and run in background process. But When close the program properly by clicking the close button the program does close and also in background process.
So, What I want to do is to catch the window taskbar closing event and make the program terminate completely.
I used Visual Basic Studio 6.0.
Any help and any advice please.
Kindly Answer my question. Thanks a lot.

Why does visual studio not repaint the program when I click on certain places like the solution explorer tab?

I managed to get VS2013 in this strange state a couple times now: The program loads fine but when I click on the solution explorer tab, the error list tab and a few others the program won't repaint in response to my click. I have to minimize the program and remaximize, whereupon everything appears as it should have right after the click.
I don't know if anyone had this issue before.. if not, where can I file a bug report?
I changed back to software rendering, it worked properly immediately. I was using 3d acceleration.

Program window not viewable during debug pause

When my program is paused in Visual Studios 2010 during debugging, like from reaching a break point and me doing a manual step through, the program window becomes impossible to view.
It is a GUI window not a console window, which I run simultaneously with my program and am still able to view. The window seems to be open it's just that when I click its icon on the taskbar it doesn't come to the front of all the other windows. When I minimize all the windows in front of it, I see the outline of the window but it is either blacked out or showing the remnants of previously expanded windows.
I've noticed this with using Visual Studio's before (various versions of it), and after trying other IDE's that didn't have this behavior I notice it more. It would be really helpful to view the program's change's as I step through the program. Anyone know how I can do this?
I searched a long while and couldn't find a single reference to this matter.
The reason the window doesn't display is that the window paint message won't be processed if the main thread has been paused. Which other IDEs let you do this? I haven't come across any native code debuggers that do this on Windows.
If you are stepping through code that is run by the main thread, then the main thread can't simultaniously poll the message pump, which is needed for the GUI to work.
If you debug a different thread, the GUI will work while you are debugging.

MS Test results freeze GUI

Some of my unit tests have long debug trace output, say hundreds of lines recording conversations between a client and a web service, so when I view result details, the GUI of Visual Studio freeze, and the symptom is that right-clicking for context menu results in black rectangle. And the other Windows applications freeze as well. Closing the Test Result Details window won't help, and I have to close VS IDE to unfreeze Windows.
Have you seen such symptom? Can you provide a solution or workaround?
Cheers

Try killing ctfmon.exe. That application has been responsible for more VS headaches and UI freezes than anything else I've encountered.

Designer Popup Editor Issue

In a custom toolset I have installed for Visual Studio, there is a popup window that should appear to me so that I can manipulate one of the lists (an in-built editor). The component is Telerik, but I don't think that has anything to do with it (maybe).
The popup window is no longer popping up to me. I wonder if it got minimized or it's a z-index thing, where the window is behind VS? But this locks up VS, and I can't do anything within it until I cancel the window. But I can't cancel the window because I can't see it... and so that is really slowing me down and is really frustrating.
Is there a way to get around this? A key press to bring this to the front or give it the focus?
Thanks.
You should be able to cancel it with ESC. You can also test if you can find the window with CTRL-TAB. If this not help then an uninstall, boot and reinstall seems the only possible solution.
This might be a z-index issue indeed. Try using FireBug or IE dev toolbar to get a hold on the popup and its container and check their styles and z-indices.
