NewMDIChild.MdiParent = Main
NewMDIChild.Show()
the form that I need to load the info is "ViewCustomer" and the mdi parent is "Main"

Minimize MDIchild Windows To The StatusStrip?
Apr 15, 2009how to minimize MDIchild windows to the StatusStrip...or is there another toolbar object in VB.NET (2008)? I have a menu layered over my MDI Parent window (which is always maximized) and if I minimize another child window, i can't see it anywhere (unless I minimize the menu too, but I took that ability away from the user)... I think I know how to do this through the menustrip at the top of the window (click on open windows....like in excel or word), but I'd like to see the windows minimized in a toolstrip of the MDI parent.

Unable To Write To MdiChild Forms?
Apr 20, 2012I have a main form with a number (in this case 9) mdichild forms. Some are visible, some not, but they are all very basic. When I write to a textbox in any child form during Main_Load it updates, when I write to a textbox in any child form inside its own _Load it updates. If I write to one from awhere else in code, including a sub in the form's own code, it fails to update.
All the child forms are identical but are distinctly separate forms created before compilation rather then NEW versions of a single form to avoid threading problems.Curiously this code worked once only. No edits were made and when re-ran failed after stopping it if found all the controls in some of the forms were invisibe in developer mode, restarted VS but still not there. Run app and at runtime there they were!!! Also all locked textboxes still accepting input.

VS 2008 : MdiChild Form In Tab Page?
Apr 7, 2011I 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.
Windows :: Maximize An MDIChild Of Another Application?
Sep 4, 2009I'm making an appication that needs to maximize the window of another application. In Spy++, the way it works is -> "Working Model - Untitled1" -> "MDICloient" -> "Untitled1"This is what the tree view looks like.I need to maximize Untitled1, but I'm not sure how. I tried findwindow "Working Model - Untitled1" and then used get and setwindowplacment for it, and it worked. Then I used findwindowex on "Untitled1" but it did not maximize. What am I doing wrong here? I'm sure mdi windows can be maximized; the "Untitled1" window itself has the 3 buttons (- + X) on the caption bar.

Jan 27, 2012I 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?

Form3= This is where I let the user input the necessary fields like Lastname, Firstname,Age,etc...

View 1 RepliesMDIParent Button Click To Display MDIChild Form?
Jun 9, 2011I 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?
