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.
View 1 Repliesi am asking about using the progress bar into the status bar to move when i load any child form inside the MDIParent form.
View 1 RepliesJust had a small doubt.Say i use something like this
vb Dim ownr as New Form1Dim Dlg as New Form2ownr.Showdlg.showdialog(ownr)
how should i call an public function of form1 in the form2 if form1 is owner of form2, and also if form1 is not the owner of form2 should i use FormName.FunctionName in both the cases.
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.

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.
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.
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 2 RepliesHow can I call a function from inside another function and suspend the calling function until the called function is finished? I hope I can get some replies because I don't know how to ask the question and make sense:).
Anyway what I am trying to do in steps:
1. The user clicks button1 which triggers the click event.
2. From the click event I call a function
3. I then pop-up a form, that has instructions for the user to read.
4. After the user has read the form he will click the "Done" button and return to the calling function.
The problem is the the calling function continues to execute. I want to stop execution of the calling function until the users clicks the "Done" button on the instruction pop=up. I know I can use a msgbox but the instructions can be lengthly and does not look good in a msgbox.
I have tried the Call method with return in the "Done" button click but I can make that work. I also tried a goto statement but I can get that to work either. In the call statement I said call frmInstruction.show() and it got there but as I said the calling function continued to execute.

View 1 RepliesI have an XML file and I have a function to which this XML is passed as string. I have loaded this string in Xmldocument and I need to insert few children nodes under one node. This function returns the modified XML string. I want that whenever this function is called, new child nodes are added, currently, It adds child nodes once.Do I need to overwrite the XML file ? If so, How can I replace the node with new node ( with new child nodes added) so that It has child nodes added before the function is called again ?

Dim doc As New XmlDocument
doc.LoadXml(applicationXml)
Dim parentNode As XmlNode = doc.GetElementsByTagName("prList").Item(0)

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.
The following code does create a form within a form and does place NotePad inside the child form. You have to manually start NotePad prior to execution (I work on that later) but the code does workŠ My problem is now I want to manipulate the properties of notepad i.e. focus, size, location, etc. but I cannot figure out how to reference notepad and its properties.
