I have an MDI application where the child forms are set to sizeable, but when I hit the cascade option the forms are resized. Other than setting the forms to a fixed size is there any way round this?
View 2 RepliesI've got a collection of a type of form and multiple of these can be displayed on the screen independently at the same time and now I'm wanting to add the ability to cascade these forms, but these forms can all be re-sized so it'll be very rare when they are of the same or similar size. I would like to be able to cascade them based on their present size, so the largest for is in the back and the smallest is in front.
I also realize that a form could be wider than than another form but that other form is taller than the current one, in which case I would like the taller form to be considered the larger one (an arbitrary decision, I know). Here's the code I currently have that cascades them in the order they are in the collection, I just need to know how to re-order them based on their size.

I would like to have one Window (without child-windows) that can have multiple content-sets.For example: I want to have a set of lables and textboxes to save information for an object (like a person). This person has several sub-items. I want to have a set of lables and textboxes for these sub-items in my mainform too. But I don't want the lables- and textboxes-set of these two objects to be both visible at the same time.
View 2 Repliesi have a Janus grid, which has two columns and the rows are organized in a hierarchical order i.e. parent and child rows. One of the columns in the grid is grouped (by dragging the column in the group by box above the grid). I have a cell-changed event that is fired when a cell content is changed. I do this in the cell-changed event:[code]If i change the value, in a parent row, of the grouped column then the child rows are set to Nothing. After the last line in the above snippet, child rows of row are set to Nothing. On the other hand, this problem does not occur if i change the value of the other column (which is not in the group by box). The problem occurs only if i group a column and change its value not otherwise.

Also, if possible, when the timer reaches 2 minutes I would like the backcolor to flash between red and green.
In a MDI application, for opening a form in the MDI, I am using the following code

'Check if form is already open
lobj_ChildForm = Nothing

I have a Midi form with controls I always want to be displayed even when child forms are open. I can position the location of the child forms when the project is first opened with no issues. The problem I have is if more than 3 child forms are open and I enter the middle form one of the others is no longer visible. Me.LayoutMdi(MdiLayout.Cascade) will reorder all the forms but it starts at location(0,0). Have tried the other options available with midilayout and they all do the same thing

View 2 RepliesI build my first Project composed of several forms and it�s working just fine. Id like now to redesign the project as a MDI Application. Once created the parent form, I can create child forms but thats not what I need. What I would need is convert my already designed and working forms to MDI child forms. How can that be done?

I am now able to open the child forms in the main window background.Now what happens is When I click on one menu Item it open in the parent form background.I am able to open all child forms corresponding to the click event in the MenuToolStrip ...all in the Parent form Now the problem is that I cannot minimize child forms when I minimize Parent form..I want child forms also to minimize along with the Parent form.. Also are child forms still not attached to the parent Form is also my question here.....

View 2 RepliesI'm developing an app in VB.Net (Visual Studio Express 2008, on Windows Vista) that connects to an Access relational database. The database has 3 related tables (TextSections, LineItems, Cycles) that I'm loading into my dataset. I've set up two foreign key constraints and want all changes to cascade through the related records in the child tables. I cannot get the cascades to reflect through.
For example, when I delete the parent record, the children records remain (in the database - they are removed from the dataset). Also, when I modify the parent record (change the Description field for example), the change is not reflected in the dataset datatable that holds the children records - unless I go through and ReLoad all of the data from the database and re-Set the constraints. I have set the .AcceptChanges, .UpdateRule, and .DeleteRule to cascade, and have also set EnforceConstraints on the dataset. Why aren't the changes cascading through the children?
Below I've pasted (1) the Load Routines for my datatables TextSections (parent), LineItems (child), and Cycles (child of LineItems); (2) the method that creates the constraints in the dataset, and (3) The Save routine for TextSections.
Friend Sub LoadTSTable()
Dim key(1) As DataColumn
Dim newCol As New DataColumn

Just looking to keep application looking neat, One Form Parent / Child relation, set to cascade updates / and deletes. What I'm looking for is when the form loads the user enters some information for the parent (about 2 column out of 5), then I create a datarow with the information that I have. At this point before I actually send and update command, I would like to get the next scope identity for that datarow.
The reason is I also use that Identity as an Id number in this case a receipt number, and the user will enter detail data that is stored in the child, then calls the save function, this is when I intend to actually call the update to the database.
So the question is, Can I retrieve the scope identity for a datarow that only exist in the dataset without calling the update command and actually storing the data in the database? Or in my case creating my own auto index sub a better choice?
I am pretty new on programing and for the past 2 days I´ve been trying to paint a table grid based on the selection made on 5 combo boxes. My problem is that I am trying to fill the combos based on the selections made on the other combos and really I am going insane. I have found a couple of examples that show how to do this using JavaScript but I don´t think this is the best solution. i would like to do this using a stored procedure which I think is more efficient. My db is on SQL 2000 and I am using asp for server script.At the moment all i have is this, which really doesn't do very much, all it does is composing the where clause so that whe i call the stored procedure if filters the results based on the combos, but ofcourse the combos are at the moment static: [code]

View 2 RepliesI have an application developed in VB.net with 3.5 framework. I have disabled close (X) button on the main form of the application while doing some processing. I have achieve disabling by "Overriding ReadOnly Property CreateParams()" of the form. This is working fine as both control button on form and close option on right click in the taskbar shows disabled. This fulfill my needs on the Windows XP OS but not on Windows 7 OS. As in Windows 7 right click on application icon in taskbar shows a different menu, which has a new "Close window" option.
The close in original menu still shows disabled (this old menu is hidden but can be shown by holding Shift key and right click on the application icon in taskbar). Now I need to disable this "Close window" option as well and only for my application.Is there a method through which I can do this programmatically.
I created a Windows Form application that used a Webrowser control to automate the process of entering data into a website. One of the tasks included selecting a server name from a dropdown menu (SELECT tag). I was able to get a collection of all of the OPTION tags and use HTMLElement.SetAttribute("selectedIndex","indexVal ue") to select the server I needed.The website recently went through a redesign and now there are no OPTION tags. It appears that the values for the SELECT tags are added by JavaScript dynamically. I have tried using HTMLElement.SetAttribute("selectedIndex","indexVal ue") directly, but I am unable to select what I need.

But because I cannot define richtextbox1.text from the currently active MDI, I cannot use this routine...my question is this: How would I get RichTextBox1.text from the save option in the MDI form?
