View 3 RepliesWrite Text From A Parent Form To The Active Mdi Child Form VB 2010
Jan 28, 2012It has to be a simple line of code but I do not know how to construct it. Using VB 2010 Express, I have a MDI parent form and many child forms. I want the parent form to determine what child form is active and load data into the RichTextBox1 on the child form. Each Child form has a RichTextBox1. The parent form gets its data by loading a file.
I am close to a solution but just can't get there. You will see in the code below, if I make a direct reference to a specific child form, it works great. What I want to do is to use the Active Form function to determine which form to write to. I have looked at the MS tutorial which gets me close.

Call Form.Close() If It's Not A Static Method
Jan 19, 2012In Visual Studio 2010, create a VB.net Windows Forms App. Add 2 forms: Form1 and Form2. In the Form1 Load event type Form2.Close(). Now if we look in the method definition Close() is not a static (shared) method. So how is this possible to compile or to work at run time.
Furthermore, do the same thing in C# and Form2.Close(); doesn't compile.
What's going on? Why is this possible in VB.net and what is actually happening when that line of code is executed?

O.VariableName= 0
and its various variants but its not working
