VS 2008 MDI Child Text

Apr 24, 2009

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.

VS 2008 Filter The BindingSource Based On Text Matches Between Any Of The Fields In The Child Table

Jul 16, 2011

I have a database with a table that is a child to many other tables. I am using this child table as a datasource for a datagridview. I am using comboboxes to display specific fields in any parent tables, instead of the user seeing the foreign key. Everything is fine. However, I would like to filter the BindingSource based on text matches between any of the fields in the child table and the corresponding fields of the parent tables.

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?

Display Text Name Of Child Instead Of Parent On Windows Mobile Application

May 24, 2012

I 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?

Syntax Checker - Populating My Combo Box With All Of A Root-child's Child Element's Names?

Mar 10, 2009

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:

VS 2008 - Child Window - Yet Not Child Window

VS 2008 Add Child Nodes To Child Nodes?

Aug 10, 2009

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*

MDI Child In .net 2008?

Aug 1, 2009

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.

VS 2008 Getting The MDI Child Location?

Aug 8, 2009

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?

VS 2008 : Getting The Position Of A Child Control?

Jan 22, 2011

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.

VS 2008 MDI Child And A Dialog Form?

Jan 19, 2010

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.
