In VB 2008, I have a Parent form with a combo box on it. There is a child form also with a combo box on it. I want to be able to change the values on the child form based on what the user selected from the main form. The user launches the child form from a toolbar on the Parent form. The following code is run:
[Code]...
What I want to do is if the Parent's combo box has "Red", "Blue", "Green" values and the user selects "Green", the child form's combo box(With the same values) will also change to "Green". (I do not need to change the Parent form if the child form changes.) I've tried changing the Child's combobox from the combobox's change event on the Parent form, and the code runs, but nothing changes on the child form.

I've been working on an application recently and it has exceeded the scope of a single form.I decided that it would be a good time to use an MDI container and split the interface up over a number of different child forms.As the application was written, there were a few different classes that were being instanciated on the original form.I've migrated these over to the MDI parent form so that I can allow all of the children to interact with them.The route that I'm going down right now is raising events on the child forms and watching for them on the MDI parent.The parent form is then doing whatever the child did to the instanciated classes in the past.

Why is my MDIChild form not being displayed in my MDIParent form? I want to click a button on form frmStudyResultsFilter which will then display an MDIContainer form frmCalculatedResults (maximized). When frmCalculatedResults is shown I want a small dialog modal form to be in the center of frmCalculatedResults. For some reason frmCalculatedResults will not show on top. Plus I get this error"Form that is not a top-level form cannot be displayed as a modal dialog box. Remove the form from any parent form before calling ShowDialog." Here is my code:
Public Class frmStudyResultsFilter
Private Sub btnCalculated_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnCalculated.Click
Dim frm As New frmCalculatedResults

I`m developing a desktop application using Visual Studio 2005 and a vb.net code.I`m using one MDIParent form 'frmMDI' and about 20 Child Forms. In the frmMDI there is a MainMenuStrip that contains 20 ToolStripMenuItems each one used to load a corresponding child form through this [code]So, that code is responsible to load a child form. Now what I`m facing after the loading of the child form is that the behavior of the controls of that child form is not so normal. you can`t set the cursor to the end of the text in a textbox.

Has anyone had any luck with having different window states with multiple open child forms?for example if you have a single child form opened and say it is maximized.then open a second child form as normal, the first form will then be set to normal.all the open child forms will mimic the newly opened forms state.and i believe they will mimic when making some changes to one forms state.the others will follow.i have not had luck keeping this from happening in most situations.

Anybody know a way to detect and set the form size in the child and MDIParent forms?
I'm having all kinds of problems from scroll bars popping up, to can't get the form to fill the parent. Pretty sure I have tried every possible combination in the forms properties 10 times.
I'm really getting tired of beating myself against this. Anybody seen a good tutorial on the finer points of MDIparent / MDI Child page size, etc.

I have developed a small application. It has a MDIParent form on which the other childforms are displayed. I have a Panel on the MDIParent on which there are buttons to call up the MDIChild forms. Now my issue is, when anyone of the buttons on the MDIParents form Panel are clicked, it should check if another Childform is display, if it is then it (the active childform is closed) and the new form will be displayed. This part is working fine from the code below. However, when there are no active MDIChild form on the MDIParent form and if the button is clicked, the 'Else' part of my code below is executed. This generates the error as 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object'. So what is wrong with my code below?
Private Sub btnExecutive_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnExecutive.Click
Dim MDIChildForm As New frmExecutiveInfo

I have a video control AxLiveLib.AxLiveX that displays video from a networked surveillance system. I'm trying to integrate this system into an MDI project, but when I set the form.mdiparent property on the form that has the video control, I no longer display video.I have a status bar at the bottom of the form that tells me connection status and current bitrate, so I can see that I am connected to the system, and if I comment out the 'FrmV.MdiParent = me' line on the parent form, I can see the video through the control.My question is what changes about the child form when you set it's MDIParent property? for example does the mdi parent take control over the forms refresh or draw functions?
code:
Dim FrmRm As New FrmViewRoom
FrmRm.RoomNumber = 1
FrmRm.Rec_NewMaxBounds = [code].....

I want to maximize my mdi child automatically by setting WindowState to Maximize. But it looks like this.. why is this happening? but if I restore it and maximize it again its body now occupies the mdiparent space. To aim is not enough. You must hit.

I have a datagridview (windows forms) that is inside an mdiChild form. The custom format is given by a "for" instance, something like this:
For row As Integer = 0 To .Rows.Count - 1
If .Rows(row).Cells("someNumber").Value = 0 Then
.Rows(row).DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.DarkSeaGreen
End If
Next
So, for every row in the grid that you find, if ther value in the "somenumber" =0 paint the whole row green. Problem is, if I put the form OUTSIDE of the MDIParent - just put frmMyform.show() in my btn that calls the form-, the grid WILL apply the format; If I call it like frmMyform.mdiparent = frmMdi, then frmMyform.show, the grid WILL NOT apply the format.

I have a MDIParent form that has a bunch of child forms. When I open a child form, I can actually move the form outside the bounds of the Parent. How can I prevent this? I've set each of the Child Forms "IsMdiContainer" property to "False". What am I missing?

Using a plugin architecture, i created a Form Class that holds the Mdi Form. it has menustrip, toolstrip and statusstrip.
child forms are created as class and are loaded into the Mdi Form at runtime.
using interface, i was able to execute subs and functions of a child in the Mdi Form and vice versa.
now i need to change property values.. to be exact, i need to change the enabled property of the toolstrip buttons depending on which child form is activated using the form_activated event of the child form.
the problem i now have is how to change the property of the toolstrip item in the Mdi Form.. should i be using interface on this as well by creating subs in the interface and have the Mdi Form implement this interface?

I have this function
Private Sub createChildForm(ByVal winForm As Form)
'Take a form and set app as its parent form
winForm.MdiParent = Me
winForm.Show()
End Sub
When some one wants to view the "About" form, it's called like this:
createChildForm(New f_about)
But my function doesn't stop them from creating an unlimited number of about windows and I need to put that limit to one form.
For example, I will have a login screen, but I don't want them logging in over and over again in different accounts because my subroutine doesn't stop a form from being created/opened more than once.

When i try to view MDIParent screen in designer mode I'm getting below exception...
`Could not find endpoint element with name 'NetTcpBinding_IMyService' and contract 'ClientProxy.IMyService' in the ServiceModel client configuration section. This might be because no configuration file was found for your application, or because no endpoint element matching this name could be found in the client element.'
Little background to understand my question more clearly...
I've a WCF server which I'm trying to consume in my Winform application. So i've created a separate class library in which i added service reference and created a proxy. I've copied the client endpoint info from app.config in class library to UI app.config file.
When i run the application everything is working fine but when i try to open MDIParent screen in designer mode its throwing above exception.
Note: I think i'm getting error because i'm trying to create a proxy object on NEW method (form constractor) if i comment that line - i'm able to view designer screen.
