Hi all,

How do I close a instance of a class created like this:

I call this class in my project like this
           StatMess.Show("Testing")
this shows a status form

         ...I do some things here

         now here is where I want to close the status form?

Class code:

Imports System.Drawing.Drawing2D, System.Drawing, System.Windows.Forms
Public Class StatMess
   Inherits Form

   Private foreCol As Color = SystemColors.ControlText
   Private backCol As Color = SystemColors.Control
   Private fnt As Font = New Font("Arial", 8)

   Public Overloads Shared Sub show(ByVal message As String)
       Dim frmMess As New StatMess
       frmMess.StatusMessage(message)

   End Sub

   Private Sub StatusMessage(ByVal message As String)
       Me.SuspendLayout()
        etc........

   End Sub

End Class
