You shouldn't have to deactivate the form yourself. This event should be raised automatically when the user clicks outside the form. It should be sufficient to do something like Me.Hide() in response to this event.

The problem lies elsewhere then. Try making a new WinForms application with a single form whose only behavior is to hide when Form.Deactivate is raised.
