I would like to display the autoscroll bar on MDIParent form when user moves MDIChild form. I set the autoscroll to false on the MDIParent form, but it does not display the scroll bar. What should i do?
View 1 RepliesI 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
[Code]......
Looks like a dumb question, but I tried the following (where "Me" is a MDIParent form):
Dim frmNotif As New frmNotifica
With frmNotif
.MdiParent = Me
[Code].....
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 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?

View 7 RepliesI have a form with multiple richtextboxes that have synchronized scrolling (ie when one RTB scrolls, the other RTBs scroll down with it). The only problem I have is that I have 10 RTBs, which means 10 scrollbars in total. I would like some of them to not show for simplicity reasons. Basicly the scrollbar of RTB1 to show and hide the rest.

View 1 RepliesI have a treeview control where I am dynamically selecting a node depending on user interaction. when a node is selected I want to be able to have the scrollbar go to the location of that selected node in the tree. The scrollbar is simply made by overflow:auto in the div tag where the treeview is located. Can someone give me some detailed code to accomplish this?
View 1 RepliesI have a load of information on my label in a groupbox on the form there is too much information to be seen in one go so i want to use a vertical scrollbar to move the label up and down inside the groupbox so it can be read.
The issue i'm having is:
1: The label covers the bottom edge of the groupbox (looks a little naff) i need it to fall inside the groupbox if possible.
2: Any movement on the vertical scrollbar seems to send the label in one direction only - so how do i work it so that up moves it up and down moves it down?
Should i use a multiline textbox rather than a label and move the carat?

View 1 RepliesIn 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.
In MDIParent, in my formload in MDIParent, one form is load. And i want the form when i click a button, there is another form will be loaded INSIDE the MDIParent?
View 4 RepliesI have a program developed in VB.NET (2008) which consists of a MDI form and several child forms. It worked like a normal mdi application whereby mdi form acted like a container for child forms and things worked out okay. Code like Me.Mdichildren or Me.ActiveMdiChild etc could be used to get list of child forms and perform other actions.Now what happened is I needed to implement a tabbed system. There will be multiple tabs and forms would be in those tabs. So I added a Tab control in mdi form and now new forms are added to selected tab page. This way muliple tab pages can host forms and there is no need to see all childforms at once.
But a problem has come up. I do say ChildForm.MdiParent = Me (as before) but then I say TabPage1.Controls.Add(ChildForm).Doing so functions like getting list of mdi children or me.activemdichild or auto arrange options like Cascade,Tile Horizontal, Vertical etc are not working. This will be a major problem for me.
how can I check(with code) if an mdichild form is already opened or not. I have some mdichildforms that may open together. If an mdichild form is opened I want to dislpay the already opened form and not a new one.
View 4 RepliesI placed a button on my form that measured 59mm in width (approx 2.25 inches for any Americans).When you run the project as you'd expect it still measures 59mm.However when I set the form as a child to my MDIParent and run the project the button now measures 67mm (well over 2.5 inches) an increase of 13.5%.Is this a bug or do I need to just change some setting somewhere?
View 6 RepliesI`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.
View 17 RepliesHas 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.

I'm curious if it is possible to hide a group of text boxes from view in a form until a particular condition is met, and to have a custom set of text boxes for that condition. To give an example; I want radio buttons offering choices for a manner of searching records, the user selects one and then a specific set of text boxes are displayed for the user to utilize, if a different option is chosen a different set of text boxes will be shown. Is this something that can be done?

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.
