Forms :: Close And Reopen Child Form Within Parent?
Dec 22, 2010
When my application first loads the parent opens and I select my child form from toolstrip:
'In parent open the form when option is clicked
Public Sub Showfrmitemreview(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles itemreivewStripMenuItemA.Click, itemreviewStripMenuItemB.Click
[Code]....
Nothing happens I don't even get an error message. I've played around with the code numerous times and the only thing that worked was to have it open outside of the parent which I do not want to happen.
I have been looking around at how I can close my parent form and my child form. This article: [URL] has some information but it either doesn't work for me or I am putting the wrong information it. What I want to happen is when a button is pressed I want to close both parent and child forms and then go to another form (frmResults). Then there will be a button on frmResults that will take me to the beginning form (frmPTCalculator). With this code below when I click the button on frmCalculator it goes to the MDI form and both parent and child forms are there.
my Parent form is called: frmGender my Child form is call: frmMale & frmFemale
Below is what I have tried from the example in my Child form frmMale:
Private Sub btnResults_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnResults.Click Dim frm2 As frmMale = New frmMale() AddHandler frm2.FormClosed, AddressOf frm2_FormClosed
I am using Visual Studio 2005. What I am trying to achieve is the following: I have a login form (form1) for the user. On successful login, a new form (form2) pops up which allows the user to add details of a student (name, age, address, courses taken, etc).
Following is what I tried to achieve the above said: 1) File>New>Project>VB Windows Application ................for form1 2) Project>Add Windows Form>Windows Form ...............for form2
What is happening is when I close form2, the application is not getting closed, form1 still exists. What i wish is that when I close any form (form1 or form2 or form3 etc ), the entire application must close.
I have a MDI Parent Form and some Child forms.I have some controls on MDI Parent form but as i open child form all the controls of MDI Parent form display in child forms...I m stuck with my application
I'm writing an MDI app in vb.net vs2010. The MDI form has the default MDIMenustrip menu with several menu items. Each has some subitems. None of the child forms have a menustrip defined. I thought it would be easy to call a public subroutine in the MDI that would disable or enable the MDIMenustrip items. If I execute the routine from the MDI form, the menu items disable/enable just fine. THe problem I have is when I call the routine from a child form. How can I control the MDI menu from a child form?
I have created a parent form and 2 child forms. Each of the forms have menustrips. When i run the application the menu strip appears on the parent form but not on the child forms. I have the menu strip set to visable.
I've created a very simple form with one button on. I need it so when the form runs, it opens in the bottom right hand corner of the screen regardless of the resolution. It also needs to be always on top of all other applications.
When the buttons pressed, i need it to close all iexplore instances and reopen a fresh instance.
I've tried to search for the answer but to no avail.
I want a set of child forms to keep their relative sizes and locations to their parent form when parent form is resized. So if one child form is opened and covers the lower right quadrant.. it will remain a quadrant for whatever resize is done on parent form.
I have a main form, and some sub forms, and each sub form can have some sub forms. When I have multiple sub forms open, and I try to get data from the parent form, it returns the data from the wrong parent form.For example I have two instances of Mainform.subform running. If I do something like this in a child form of one instance of the subform. It returns data from the other subform.
dim l = Mainform.subform.listofdata
Edit:I am using visual Studio 2008. Winforms, form designed using designer. In my mainform I am doing this
Protected Friend frmMain as Mainform frmmain = new mainform
In frmMain I am doing this
Protected Friend frmsub as new Subform' frmsub = new subform
i have created two forms A and B when button in form A is clicked B is invoked when B is running its not possible to work on A until i close form B. How can i work on A without closing B
I know I can set IsMidContainer in forms for parent-child relationship forms. I just want to know if the parent form could be a panel. If so, how can i do it?
I'm just getting started in VBE 2008 porting a VB6 program and have created the MDI Parent form. I've added a form called frmNav and need to designate this and all subsequent forms as MDI child forms. Is there somewhere in each form's properties where I designate this? It used to be in VB6 there was a property called "MDIChild = True." input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!-- Session data--></input> <input id="jsProxy" onclick="jsCall();" type="hidden" />
I have made a project on Library management system using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 and Sql server 2005 .I have used MDiParent form in this project, from where I can click on the menu item to open the desired form.
I am now able to open the child forms in the main window background.Now what happens is When I click on one menu Item it open in the parent form background.I am able to open all child forms corresponding to the click event in the MenuToolStrip ...all in the Parent form Now the problem is that I cannot minimize child forms when I minimize Parent form..I want child forms also to minimize along with the Parent form.. Also are child forms still not attached to the parent Form is also my question here.....
VB.NET 2003 makes it difficult to have a child button create an event on a Parent form control. I would like to change the state of a control on the parent form by using a button on the child form.
In all my post I have explained I am a total novice so a little more elementary explanation is normally required in my case. I have tried reading the explanations about Parent and child binding but just cant get it to work.This is what I have:
A parent form called Sites Primary key is pkSitesID Various other fields On that form I have placed a tab control and in page one I dragged SitesInstallation to it there is a relation created in the DBDiagram to link fkSitesID (in the sitesinstallation table) and pkSitesID
All I want to do is when I navigate through the Sites records the data in the tab page changes according the values I have selected for that given site.
For example: The Siteinstallation maybe Pending or on air.
I am using a parent for with child forms and i have made the option to "Float" the child windows outside of the parent form and "dock" them back in if you want.I'm doing this with a button on the child form to float/dock it. On the other hand I'd like to use a checkable item on the menu to choose if they are docked or floated from the opening point.
This question only applies to files of line-terminated/text strings.[code]I suspect that ultimately, I will generate the myfiles version of the HD file as I write it to disk,but at this point in my VB.net 'skills', until I can prove what I've written by reading it back and having control of it in my program, I can't assume anything about the data/format/file that I have written.
ive been trying to get statusstrips merging so i can click a label to bring the child form to the front when i have multiple childforms open. I have this code which does work but on closing it leaves the label on the mdiparent and also im struggling with the bring back to front code. i dont want it to open another form just bring it back to front. I have statusstrip set to visible false on my childform. heres some code for merging, this is in mdi parent:-
Private Sub Form1ToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Form1ToolStripMenuItem.Click Dim NewMDIChild As New Form1 NewMDIChild.MdiParent = Me
[code].....
and some for bring back to front, this is in form1:-
Private Sub ToolStripStatusLabel1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ToolStripStatusLabel1.Click Dim MDIChild As New Form1
I want to use the same menu shortcut keys in a MDI child as in the parent...the problem is that the parent seems to receive the Event first and is calling his menu entry. The child (though it does have the focus) does never receive any event whatsoever...I can bypass this behaviour by adding a Textbox to the Menu, and the moment that one has the focus the menu shortcuts are working as expected (child gets it first, after that it's passed through to the parent).
I would like to have a form class that is called from a button on a parent form and would like a button on the child form to set a property on the parent form. Can anyone explain the best way to go about this or direct me to a good article?
I have a MDI project that has a parent and several children forms. In some of the children forms I would like to make one of the forms to be a parent form with children. On this child form I wanted to make a tabbed MDI, which I can do, but I have found out that I can't make a child form a parent, from what I have found.
Is there any way to get around this? (As in nested MDI forms.)
