Terminate program when Close button is Clicked after Prompt - Visual Basic

Question

I have two forms in my WindowsFormApplication named as Form1 and Form2. The idea is when the Program is being closed, it shows up a Dialog Box to confirm it.

 Public Class Form1
    Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Form2.Show()
        Me.Close()
    End Sub

    Private Sub Form1_FormClosing(sender As Object, e As FormClosingEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosing
        MessageBox.Show("You are About to cancel the Setup.","Cancel Setup?",
        MessageBoxButtons.OK,
        MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation,
        MessageBoxDefaultButton.Button1)
    End Sub 
End Class

Until here, my code worked fine but the problem is when I click Button1, the Message Box appears to confirm the closure of Form1.

I don't want this to happen so then I tried changing Me.Close() to Me.Hide . I was successful for preventing the message box to appear but then I got another Problem. As the Form hides, it stays active in the background and I also don't want this to happen.

Another thing I added in Form1_FormClosing is Me. Close Me. Close and Form2.Close . This enables to close both the forms once the program's active Form is being closed. But Again, there's a problem. As soon as I click the close button, the Message Boxes fill up the screen and not listening to my Command. Anyone got a solution for this?

So..

If the user clicks close in Form1 , then the program should terminate with no messagebox.

If the user clocks close in Form2 , Form3 or Form4 , the program would Terminate when the user clicks Yes in the MessageBox or else nothing would get affected (Especially the Data).

The way this works is when user clicks Close in Form1 , the program terminates with no MessageBox and if the user clicks Close in other Forms , A MessageBox would appear asking whether you are sure to close the Program. If the user clicks Yes, the program will Terminate because the DialogResult is Yes and Form1.Closing Cancel goes to False and Closes Form1 (As Closure type was set as First Form Closes in Program Properties, this will terminate the program) Else the Form1.Closing Cancel goes to True which will prevent the current Form from closing and losing any Data.

This code goes to Form1 :

Imports System.ComponentModel


Public Class Form1
    Friend closeProgramAlreadyRequested As Boolean = False

    Private Sub Form1_Closing(sender As Object, e As CancelEventArgs) Handles Me.Closing
        closeProgramAlreadyRequested = False
    End Sub
End Class

This code goes to Form2 & applies to other Forms as well but except for Form1 :

Imports System.ComponentModel

Public Class Form2
    Private Sub Form2_FormClosing(sender As Object, e As FormClosingEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosing
    If Form1.closeProgramAlreadyRequested = False Then
        Dim result As DialogResult = MessageBox.Show("You are About to cancel the Setup.", "Cancel Setup?", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation, MessageBoxDefaultButton.Button1)
        If result = DialogResult.No Then
            e.Cancel = True
        Else
            e.Cancel = False
            Form1.Close()
        End If
    End If
End Sub
End Class
