VS 2008 MDI And Child Within A Child?
Feb 13, 2010
I have an MDI application where a child form (A) opens a second form as a Dialog (B), which works great but you can't do anything in the MDI until you close the Dialog form.I've now changed the Dialog form (B) so it just calls as a Show and I have disabled the parent form (A). This works better and allows you to click anywhere in the MDI (except the parent form (A)) which is ideal and works much better.
The problem comes if you maximize the parent form (A) and then open form (B), this is then also maximised but I need it to be a fixed.I've done some research and I've tried using the API SetParent which gets round the problem of the form being maximized but this makes the form TopMost in the MDI.
All I need is form B to be topmost of form A and to be a fixed size. Is there any solution?

My program handles XML files that have certain elements within a root-child node that are identical expect for their inner text value. So while populating my combo box with all of a root-child's child element's names I get like five identical items listed. Which brought about the problem of selecting say the third item and getting the value of the first displayed. So I came up with a loop function that determines if the selected combo box item is preceded by one of the same name, if it is, then it adds +1 to a counter variable and keeps checking farther and farther up the list. Once it loops to an item that doesn't have the same name it exits and it reads the Xth (X = counter mentioned earlier) element's inner text from the file. This works great for elements 1, 3, 4, and 5. But not for 2. A while back when I was focused on this problem I discovered the root of the problem but I was unable to circumvent it. I'll put the loop below so you can see the problem in action instead of trying to follow my verbose explanation:

I'm from denmark and hope I can explain my question for you. This is just a example: I have a panel, let's say panel1 and another panel on that panel (panel2) and so on until for example panel5 - on panel5 I have a button (button1). Now I would like to change button1's backcolor property through code how do I then get access to button1, now it's a child-control on panel5 that is a child control on panel4 etc. ??

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.

I have a nested class, let's call it class1 and it has class2 inside it; VB.Net eg:[code]
1) How can I define X number of Class2 objects[let's call it: Node(x) array]** with NEW() subroutine called?' this raises error: dim cls2(n) as new class2 end sub.
2) How can I return actual number of Node() array? [code]Outside my class in main project I define cls1 object:[code]Now an array of class2 is created inside cls1.
3) Now,How can I access All of them[node(x) array which is created inside cls1] with all properties and methods available?
I remember I wrote a ProcessManager class with this functionality in .net 2003, nearly 4 years age, I don't have the code now.

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 a 3rd party program that puts up a pop up box and asks the user for input. In Spy++ the original program (I'll refer to this as Window A from now on) is a top level window, and the popup (Window B) is also a parent window. However, when I use FindWindow(Nothing, "Captcha Challenge") it returns 0. I've also used a code snippet from the forums

OK, so I have the code to add a Child Node to a selected node in ta TreeView. The thing is, even if I select a child node to "add" to, it adds the new node to the parent of the selected child node.
I know why it does that: TreeView1.Nodes(TreeView1.SelectedNode.Index).Nodes.Add() adds to the first node. So how do I progamatically add to the child node I have selected, not it's parent node. I can't figure out the logic on how to accomplish this.
NOTE: There can be an infinite amount of child nodes.
UPDATE: I just found out that if I have a child node selected, TreeView1.SelectedNode.Index returns -1 since there is nothing selected in that first level. I'd have to use TreeView1.Nodes(0).SelectedNode.Index to get the proper index for the ChildNode. *sigh*

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 have a MDI based application with two problems. First: when i close the MDI child i want to ask if the user would like to save the data in the child and give them the regular choice yes,no,cancel however when i try to use the Formclosing event it never fires, it does fire for the mdi parent but that is no help.
Second: When i load the child i am using a template form to get all the controls and code, but if i close all the children then reopen one it errors because the controls are disposed.

In one of my apps I'm using MDI childs so the user only has one screen. There's only one MDI child open at any time, it is maximized and all control option (controlbox, minimize and maximize buttons) are turned off, so to the user it seems there is one program with one screen.In the parentform I'm using devexpress' RibbonBar for the menu.
When I open a new child, the uppermost part of the childform (about 15px) is not shown, it's put under the Ribbonbar. If I resize the parentform however, the childform ofcourse changes dimensions as well because it is maximized and this somehow causes it to shows like it's supposed to.Is there any way to invoke this behaviour programmatically so the location of the child form is correct from the beginning?

I got mainform which has a tab control on it.
on one of the tabs, i have a button that sets:
install.mdiparent to me and then show.
It doesnt show the form.
Its because of the tab control. So i tried to send the tab control to the back, and the install form to the front. that still doesnt work.
Anyway to set the tab page as the parent container?

I am using VB.NET (2008). I have a MDI form and a child form loads whenever I click on a menu item.In an MDI form if you click on Window menu, where you see options like Tile Horizontal, Cascade etc you also see the name of child forms which are open in that list. If you click any one of them then the focus shifts there.'Now the problem is if a child form changes its caption/text after it has been loaded and then you click on Window Menu it still shows the old text. If I open more than one child form and change one of the form's text and then click on another one and then open Window Menu then its okay.how can I refresh the list or do whatever so that if my mdi child form loads and its caption changes then it should be reflected in my mdi's form's window menu.

In VB6, MDI applications were possible. You'd create a form and a few Child forms and go with it.

In your opinion what API use Spy++ to get the "Rectangle" and "Restored Rect" data of a child control of an external window?I don't think it uses GetWindowPlacement because if I use this API for the main window I obtain the same values of Spy++, but if I use the GetWindowPlacement API to find the position of a control of the window itself, known it Hwnd, I obtain different results as to Spy++ (that are ALWAYS the same results also if I shift the Main window... so I think that are relative data and not absolute data... but they are wrong )
One example:
Spy++ : (620, 473)-(792, 505)
GetWindowPlacement: (615, 450)-(787, 482)
same dimensions... but different pos... and the right pos is the Spy++ pos.
