How can I hide all open forms, including all open dialog forms to NotifyIcon?

I currently hide the main form using

        Me.Hide()
        NotifyIcon.Visible = True
        NotifyIcon.ShowBalloonTip(1, "WinVault", "You've been lockout due to innactivity", ToolTipIcon.Info)

And get the form back to show

Private Sub NotifyIcon_MouseDoubleClick(sender As System.Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles NotifyIcon.MouseDoubleClick
    Me.Show()
End Sub

I want all open forms including those dialog forms to minimize in NotifyIcon

Showing dialog forms using Form.ShowDialog

You cannot hide a dialog. Doing so will automatically close it. Which in effect will hide it as well :) – Hans Passant Sep 19 '12 at 12:33
Yeah, I thought so. I tried it as well. Just looking for some suggestions to circumvent it. – Aron Jay Sep 19 '12 at 12:41
Well, perhaps there is a way to find out if there are any open dialog forms. @HansPassant – Aron Jay Sep 19 '12 at 12:44
