MDI Children - Only One Instance Of The Child Will Show?
Feb 9, 2010
I have an MDI application that shows a child window, obviously. I want multiple instances of this child window to be possible. However, I only get one. The first one will close out and the new one will show.
Dim newWindow As New frmWatcherWindow()
newWindow.MdiParent = Me
newWindow.Show()

My application creates MDI Children programatically. I have a frmBrowser as an MDI Child which I create multiple instances of. There are several other MDI children in the MDIParent. How do I only cycle through the frmBrowser MDI children?
For Each Child As frmBrowser In frmMain.MdiChildren
'perform action on child
Next Child
The code above gives an error for all the Child that aren't of the type frmBrowser.

I'm fine with both C# and VB.NET..I have two tables. Authors and Books. It's a one to many relationship, Authors to Books. I'm writing a query to show how many books that each author has.[code]But in the Authors table, there are some authors without any books yet. For example, there two authors, Author D and Author E that have no books yet. I want to write query that includes all authors and number of ther books, even though they don't have any book yet, no record in the Books table yet.

I am developing a form where the Mdiparent contains Mdichildren in tabbed style. so if user clicks on search form it appears as a tab in the main container form. Now, this child form that opens up as a tab in the main form has hotkeys defined. However, on pressing "Alt" while the control is in the child tabbed form, the clues i.e TextLabel with underlined hotkey alphabet does not appear in the child form. The hot keys work fine however the clues are not displayed on pressing Alt.

I have developed vb.net application and have one main form with isMdiContainer property true. It has one Menustrip control docking on top of the form and StatusStrip docking on bottom of the scrren. When User click on any menu item it opens new form or if already opened, show it. My application allow to open multiple child forms opened at same time and all forms StartPosition is set to CenterScreen. My problem is becuase all forms are in cetenr it ovelaps each other and user wouldn't know which form(menu option) is opend. I would like to see all opened forms in different tabs (like in windows taskbar) in bottom of MDI parent form.

I'm trying to use checkboxes to show and close child forms.I'm using MDI. I want to try and make the child form show inside of the parent form like it should.This is the code I was using:
[code]...
And that works, but if I close the window instead of using the check box and then try to use the checkbox to open the new window again i get an error:Object reference not set to an instance of an object.Also I have more than one checkbox (each one serves a child form) and I would like to be able to open and close any of the child forms at any time.

I'm checking If a border's child property is not set to nothing or equal to a given element, but whenever I run the program, it says that it's set to nothing and crashes. Here's my code:
If Not Me.Child.Equals(Nothing) Then ...
If Me.Child.Equals(value) Then ...
Both gives an error. What should I do to pass these lines? Also in C# it would look like this:
if(this.Child != null) ...
if (this.Child != value) ...
But this time it doesn't give an error.

After several hours of searching the internet I could not find any Report Viewer tutorials that show a project that contains a parent/child report. I'm using rdlc report files.I can create a single report but we want to create a report that shows shows invoice header information followed by the invoice details followed by the next invoice header and details and so on.
If a sample project is not available, do you know of an online tutorial that shows how to do it?I saw something that might help on gotreportviewer.com about subreports, but it's in C# and not VB.Net so I could not figure out how it works.

Is there a simple way of tracking the change of an Mdi's children i.e. when they are created and closed, something like an event OnMdiChildListChanged (I realise this doesn't actually exist).
I am also aware that I could have a method within my Mdi that handles the creation of child forms and logs the state of them or even create an Interface that defines that a child form has a "NotifyParent" method that is then called on close of the form, but i was wondering if there was any built in events that i could plumb into?

I have four children in a parent container. Each child form is a test for the user to type correct answers into text boxes. Option to open each form is on a menu strip in the parent. In form load, I have disabled all but the first form option. I only want the second form to become available if the first form answers are correct. I would like to figure this out on my own as much as possible. I have searched on line but since I am not sure what to ask, I have not found and answer. Can someone get me started in the right direction? Perhaps some reading that would explain how to go about this, or what I should be typing into google to get what I'm looking for.

I'm sifting through the dump of AniDB titles and everything works except that it only sees 7161 elements instead of 9200. Anyone have any idea why? It's not calling an exception on the load method as if something is wrong. Even when I change it to just take the root element and then get the count of children, it gives 7161. Like it doesn't even see the last 2000.

I need to save this instance to hard disk and then load it back from hard disk as an instance. How do I do that?

I have a single instance VB 2010 application I know how to communicate with the next instances run through the StartupNextInstance application event. The usual way of working with this is parsing command line arguments of the new instance and continue execution of the old instance. What I would like to do is replace the running instance with the new one. Is there any way to do this other than disabling the single instance property ?

A common problem I have come across when migrating from VB6 to VB.NET is that to change the focus between MDI children, you can't just click any control to give that child focus, you must click its title bar. The solution that I have found works is to enter the child form's Designer and change the following:
Code:
#Region "Windows Form Designer generated code "
<System.Diagnostics.DebuggerNonUserCode()> Public Sub New()
MyBase.New()
'This is required by the Windows Form Designer.
InitializeComponent()
[Code] .....
This needs to be done on all child forms in the project. If one form does not have the fix, once it's opened, the bug will return even when the form is closed.

I'm trying to remove all children (and sub-children) of a Grid in WPF (I'm really new to the whole WPF business). Is there a good way of doing it programmatically? I need to do this so that I could leave an empty canvas (Grid) at one point and draw other stuff on it.

Im new to treeviews so I hope this is not posting a problem that has been covered. I want all the children of a checked parent to also be checked. I have found various snippets that can achieve this but only for one or two levels. When I expand further than 2 levels the children are not checkeds. What am I missing? I have managed to find this piece of code that I am using in both the "AfterExpand" and the "AfterChecked" events to achieve the result. There must be a better way.

I'm adding rectangles to a wrap panel like this:
For i = 0 to 20
wrapPanel.children.add()
next
I would like to use this loop because I don't want to specify the limit:
Do
wrapPanel.children.add()
Loop
But how can I break the loop when the wrap panel is filled? For example the loop would stop when the wrap panel can't display a rectangle in its full height or width.
