I've got an MDI vb project with several child forms. Now I want each child to be placed on top of the other open childs when I create it. In simple words, I don't want it to hide behind the other open childs.
View 6 RepliesI have an issue when I place a label box in the MDI Parent form and then open a child form the label box highlighted in child form?
View 6 RepliesIn 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.
i am having an issue populating two combo boxes on form load. The program will connect to an access database and pull data as instructed. Then as it pulls each record it puts it into the combo box.
This was working.. atleast i think it was. i dont recall it ever not working, however i wasn't looking for it.
My problem is that if when i load the MDI parent form and have it skip the selection form and the login form and load the next form in the sequence, it loads everything perfectly. However if the select form is loaded first, then the login form and then the form i need loaded, it will not populate. The only difference between the two different loads is that the login form calls a function that loads the form as a new project.form
I did this so that I can have multiple forms open at a time. I am assuming my problem is that I need to get the child forms handle then populating controls using that handle? but i think if I had to do that then I would beable to populate the comboboxes on the first form load using the login method of opening the form.
Here's my code.

Private Sub frmLine1t5_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Me.Text = "Line " & LineNumber & " Test Form"

I have a MenuStrip with File > New, Open, Save, Exit located in a parent form, and a RichTextBox located in a child form.The problem I'm running into is concerned with the destination of the file elected from "Open" and the save.When a user selects their file from "Open", I need it to open the child form and put the text into the RichTextBox.I also need the program to be able to "Save" from a child form, whether it's been brought up via "New" or "Open".

I'm having trouble with MDI child and a dialog form. The problem details are listed below:
1. One MDI Parent form (Form1) with a button on it (Button1).
2. One Child form of Form1 (name = Form2) with a button (Button2) and a textbox (text_box1).
3. Another form in the project (not child of Form1 and not MDI Parent) with name Form3. This form has also a button on it (Button3).
The application behaviour is as follows: the application starts with Form1. Clicking the Button1 will show Form2. Form2 correctly opened as a MDI child. Clicking the Button2 on the Form2 will show Form3 as dialog (Form3.ShowDialog() ). Clicking the Button3 on the Form3 need to do the magical thing - to set/change the text in the Form2's text_box1.
Tried various examples from this forum. Also followed a lot of examples from net. Nothing works. Tried to create a writable property in the Form2 class but calling it from the Form3 does nothing.
I tried to access the MDIchildren(ss) while ss loops in MDIchildrens array but I don't know how to access the label control inside the Form2 using this technique. Successfully changed the Form2 caption but no controls are available in VB intellisense - practically correct because VB don't know which form from array I'm referring to.
I have a huge image which I loaded into a picturebox on a Child Form. The problem is that I can't seem to create scrollbars on the Child Form. So... I tried the Webbrowser control. The code I used:
WebBrowser1.Navigate("file:///" & Application.StartupPath.ToString() & "libmap.jpg")Doesn't work somehow. But then again... I'm not sure where to place that particular folder. I tried all the C:UsersRadjeshDocumentsVisual Studio 2008Projectsproject_name.... and subfolders, but I ca't seem to get it right.

I have an MDI application which uses fixed sized forms. I've started to change the forms to sizeable and anchored the controls so they move when the form is resized. If the child form has a menu this jumps onto the parent menu (as it always has done) but all the controls move up the form at runtime and leave a space at the bottom of the child. If I change the form in design mode to cut through the bottom controls i.e. so the form doesn't appear tall enough, it corrects itself at runtime. Is there another workaround as it looks misleading in the designer.
View 3 RepliesIn my WPF Form1 I have TextBlock1 that fill from AddressTableAdapter. To edit address user must click EditButton to open Form2 to perform changes. My problem is passing data to Form2 from Form1. In Form2 I have 3 TextBoxes Street, City, Zip, and StateComboBox. I try to code in Loaded procedure of Form2 like this and got error message:
Private Sub Form2Detail_Loaded(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs) Handles Me.Loaded
Me.AddressTableAdapter.Fill(Me.AbcDataSet.Address)
Me.StreetTextBox = IIf(IsDBNull(AbcDataSet.Address.StreetColumn), "", AbcDataSet.Address.StreetColumn))

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.

View 7 RepliesI am having trouble adding a row to a databound datagridview on a parent form from a child form. I have two forms, one contains a datagridview that is bound to a table using 'datagridviewbindingsource' and contains an 'add' button. The second contains a checked listbox that is populated correctly and has a "Cancel" and an 'OK' button - when i check several items in the child form, i would like to hit okay and update the bindingsource of the datagridview on the first form with the checked items.

I have an MDI Form that contains an MDI Child form. On this child form is a flexgrid. When the user double clicks on a row in the flexgrid this loads another MDI Child form. I have set the following properties on the second child form:
FormBorderStyle = FixedDialog
MaximizeBox = False
MinimizeBox = False
StartPosition = CenterScreen
WindowState = Normal
The problem is that if the first MDI child form is in a maximized state and the user double clicks on the flex grid, the second child form loads in a maximized state too! How can I stop this?

I want a set of child forms to keep their relative sizes and locations to their parent form when parent form is resized. So if one child form is opened and covers the lower right quadrant.. it will remain a quadrant for whatever resize is done on parent form.
View 3 RepliesI'm creating an application that uses an MDI container to create a sort of desktop style for my form with a group of icons docked to the left hand side. The rest of the form is the desktop area that I want all windows to open in.If I use the standard File-New option that is provided by VB as a default for the MDI container this works fine and a child window is loaded.If I use similar code from one of the icons this also works fine.y problem is that one of my child forms is a search panel and when I double click on one of the results I want a window to open, but as an MDI child. However, this doesnt happen. When I open the window it opens as a completely separate window and isn't docked within the MDI parent. It also appears on the task bar as a separate application.

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.

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.

As Autodesk is going to discontinue VBA for their Inventor product in the near future I have been looking at other ways to run VB.NET in Inventor. To date it doesn't look like VSTA will be the replacement. Automation from an External VB.NET app is certainly possible, but leaves something to be desired for speed and integration. Compiled Add Ins are the Cadillac of choice but can be a royal pain to debug and develop. Autodesk now provides a lightweight VB.NET script interface called iLogic. It's main purpose is to allow extreme customization of Solid Modeling parts. The code actually resides inside the Part Model file.
