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.
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.
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?
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
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.

I have two MDIParent with one form(MDIChildren). in my mdichildren i have a statustrip with splitbutton, and one of my split button is assign to do an event..how can i do an event with my splitButton in different MDIParent? For example:
I have to open a MDIParent called MDIparent1 (of course it loads of my mdichild automatically) trying to click a splitbutton will success..but i try to open a another MDIparent called MDIparent2 with my same mdichild and try to click a splitButton will not be success.
I have a MDI Application with a MDIParent form and two Child forms called form1 and form2. What I need to do is. Launch the third party software from MDIparent form and if it already open then not to open again.
i have a program with MDI parent and child. initially, the program will call a child e.g. ChildMain. on this child form, 2 processes are run. the 2nd is ran on a backgroundworker. the backgroundworkder in created through code. the process in the background worker is to create another childform but i'm having problem setting the MDIParent of this child form since VS is saying some sort of cross-thread issue.
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 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?
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
If this has been answered elsewhere can someone point me in the right direction. Instead of having visual studio's update screen i want to have my own screen pop up within my mdiparent form and have abit on the popup where i can display the changes that have been made (i can try and work this out with text files etc.)
I am having a toolstrip in the mdi form which contains save, update delete and clear buttons. The child form is having save, update, delete and clear as public sub routines , and client form will not have any standard buttons, I will click the respective button in the parent tool window which should call the child forms function.
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].....
For example I have 5 columns in the datagrid and I'm currently in the first cell of the first row. When I press Enter key, I want the cursor to go to the next column of the same row but if it is the last column I want the cursor go the the first column of the next row.[code]...
I'm creating a program that requires an MDI Parent Container to keep its Children inside of the client area. If you didnt understand id like a MDI to have all the forms it creates to stay inside of the actual MDI.
I've said like the windows desktop becuase thats what the windows desktop is. It's basically a realy advanced MDI container.If you know any methods on how to do this as this may be used a lot by future programmers and it would be great to just link this to the same type of question.
I need a tool window to act like a mdi child over a chart control. I can't use mdi because I'm using the krypton control ribbon component and they pretty much use all the mdi code in the background. Anything I do mucks it up. So I need a window to float over another control and be bounded by the real estate of that control.
I have a small VB. app in VS2008 that opens a windows folder in maximized view.I am using the following code:
Dim startInfo As New ProcessStartInfo("explorer.exe") startInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Maximized startInfo.Arguments = "C:\Program Files\123 Systems\ExcelFolders\TechTimeSheet" Process.Start(startInfo)
When using my app with windows xp it works well. It opens a single folder as if going through the "my computer" to open it. Attached is a screen shot "folder" to show the desired way.However when using the same code with Vista it opens my folder as if I right clicked on the start menu and selected "explore", also a screen shot named "explore" is attached showing what I do NOT want. What should I change to get both vista and XP to work the same, that is opening a single folder.
I am writing a program for class that acts like an accounting ledger or checkbook organizer. There are many things that I can't figure out how to make happen.
First- I need a running total of credits and debits at the bottom of the form. I can't figure out how to get that to display. I tried it, but it just locks up the program.
Second- I put in an error handler for non-numeric input and that works but when I want to clear all fields with the clear button it errors each field for not having an entry. I tried 6 ways to Sunday to accept (""), but it messes up other things.
Third- I want 5 transactions to be visible with the ability to have 7. I have hidden the last two and want them to display when the new transaction button is clicked, but can't find anything in my book that would allow that to happen.

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?
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.
