Ok So I am trying to save text from a textbox to a rtf file. The Saves Text would come from the active mdi Child. However I can not figure out how to Save using active child just calling the actual form name. Below is my code so far.
Private Sub SaveAsToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object,
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles SaveAsToolStripMenuItem.Click

I want to use the same menu shortcut keys in a MDI child as in the parent...the problem is that the parent seems to receive the Event first and is calling his menu entry. The child (though it does have the focus) does never receive any event whatsoever...I can bypass this behaviour by adding a Textbox to the Menu, and the moment that one has the focus the menu shortcuts are working as expected (child gets it first, after that it's passed through to the parent).
View 1 RepliesI'm writing an MDI app in vb.net vs2010. The MDI form has the default MDIMenustrip menu with several menu items. Each has some subitems. None of the child forms have a menustrip defined. I thought it would be easy to call a public subroutine in the MDI that would disable or enable the MDIMenustrip items. If I execute the routine from the MDI form, the menu items disable/enable just fine. THe problem I have is when I call the routine from a child form. How can I control the MDI menu from a child form?
View 3 RepliesI have created a parent form and 2 child forms. Each of the forms have menustrips. When i run the application the menu strip appears on the parent form but not on the child forms. I have the menu strip set to visable.
View 4 RepliesI have a single table that holds my Categories
CatID, CatName, ParentID
I have often used this layout to show Root Categories where the ParentID IS NULL. I would like to be able to create a vertical Menu (using a repeater and an <UL><LI> that displays the Root Categories and ideally, a collapse panel that would expand with the subcategories. Given the above Table format, it is also easily possible to make the hierarchy unlimited.

Im working with MDI parent/child objects. when closing the child objects i need the child to check to see if it is the last child object before closing. i couldn't find anything on google, maybe im searching for the wrong thing.
View 2 RepliesI have a vb.net application that uses ShowDialog() to open child screens.
Long story short, I had issues with focusing the control if I opened IE on top of my program without minimizing the program. Once I reactivated my program and closed a child window, IE would show again instead of my program. I fixed this by setting the owner of my form.
Now I have another issue. After setting the owner, the parent (text) name of my form is now being shown at the top of the application when a child screen is open instead of the parent name. How can I fix this to show only the child's text form name when a child screen is open?
so i have a quite huge program. but lets say i have one label. and i want to save that. i have the code and everything for saving the text of the label. now i want to assign ctrl+s to automatically save the labels text once pressed instead of going through a menu to choose save.this is like a regular texteditor where u press ctrl+s and it saves.
ive used this
If (e.KeyCode = e.Control & Keys.S) Then
MessageBox.Show("Ctrl+S pressed")
End If
and
[code]....
but it doesn't do anything once pressed.im also using the keydown declaration for the form.
I have a main form, and some sub forms, and each sub form can have some sub forms. When I have multiple sub forms open, and I try to get data from the parent form, it returns the data from the wrong parent form.For example I have two instances of Mainform.subform running. If I do something like this in a child form of one instance of the subform. It returns data from the other subform.
dim l = Mainform.subform.listofdata
Edit:I am using visual Studio 2008. Winforms, form designed using designer. In my mainform I am doing this
Protected Friend frmMain as Mainform
frmmain = new mainform
In frmMain I am doing this
Protected Friend frmsub as new Subform'

I would like to know if there is some simple code to release a child control from it's parent control, without having to name the parent control. In pseudocode, I'm looking for something like this:

Dim obj_DataSet As New DataSet()
'Declaring the array of DataColum to hold the Primary Key Columns

It 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.

I have a table (Projects) which is linked to projectVersions on projectID..projectVersions contains several columns on which I'd like to filter a returned project (and associated projectVersions) list. For example there is a "capacity" column and a "country" column. I am doing a filtered list of projects on one page and I'd like to include all projects where any one of the associated projectVersions has a capacity of 750ml and a country of "France" for example.It may be that a particular parameter is not set and so I pass a zero to indicate not to filter on that.I guess this needs some kind of subquery as when I try and do something like this: [code] it doesn't work as the "xxx" bit, being one-to-many, expects me to specify an item to get at the entities within and yet I want to query where ANY of the associated versions match one of the criteria.

Note: I am working with Visual Studio 2010 Professional. Note: There are a lot of MDI Child posts, but none (that I have found) that apply to my scenario... Scenario I have an MDI form with a UserControl docked at the top. The UserControl is for navigation and is ~50 pixels in height. When I show a child form with its WindowState property already set to 'Maximized', the child form shows maximized in the MDI parent, but behind the UserControl.

I have 2 tables with relation from parent table (customers) and child table (orders) and i have all inside typed dataset.
Now i want a field of customers by datarelation from field child table.
Inside child table i have IDCustomers and i want Customers.FirstName
I think so, inside databinding form designer, inside Text i write
dsMaster.Orders.CustomersOrders.FirstName
I have two datatables inside a single dataset (all are typed). dtOriginalData contains roughly 25 or so fields, which included IDs, descriptions and other bits of data. The ID is the PKey in this case. dtEditData contains almost the same columns as the first,with a couple of extras thrown in. One of the fields in dtEditData is the ID from dtOriginalDatafter the two tables are loaded, I create a datarelation between the two using this ID field. I then update some of the fields in the dtEditData and set their expression to pull data from the Parent table (dtOriginalData) ... this is then fed to a grid. So far everythign works fineNow I need to add some functionality, displaying the Original Data, the Edited Data and the variances between the two.
The bindingContext is set cocrrectly. I've successfully bound all of the edited fields to their appropriate labels, and everything updates as I scroll through the data in the grid.It's all fine and dandy... except.... for the Original Data fields... I bound them to dtOriginalData.... and all I get is the first record displaying. It's not taking into consideration the relation between the two databases and advancing the index on it. So, what I need to find out, is if there is a way to do the databindings so that the two data tables will move in synch with each other, keeping the displayed values updated with the correct information. If, for some reason I can't find a way, I may have to resort to a gawd awful datatable with 30+ fields in it.
May I know is there any solution for both MDI parent and MDI child is MDI form?I am trying to set like this.

I'm just getting started in VBE 2008 porting a VB6 program and have created the MDI Parent form. I've added a form called frmNav and need to designate this and all subsequent forms as MDI child forms. Is there somewhere in each form's properties where I designate this? It used to be in VB6 there was a property called "MDIChild = True." input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!-- Session data--></input> <input id="jsProxy" onclick="jsCall();" type="hidden" />
