May 30, 2009
im making a 'program' and its a Head form. with 3 Subforms in it. Well. i added a Menustrip.As soon as the forum starts i have a Load timer. (see Image 1)
1.Thats how it needs to be. Also when the Subforms are loaded.But, Now the problem. When the forms are loaded. The Menustrip ends up wrong placed and Resized?
2.How to work this away? The menu strip needs to stay On top of all the others. and the Menustrip goes back to normal as soon as i click one of the Title bars of the Subforms?

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.

How will i close all the forms within my main form? Everytime I click on the menus of my main form,I'm setting my main form as MDI-Parent form and then loading a new form as it it is the child form if I'm not mistaken. I have a log-out menu, and what I want to happen is everytime I log-out all the forms within my parent form will be closed. How will I do it? Here are some of my codes.

I have a main form that stays in the background of my program. Other windows open and are owned by the main form. Think of it as your desktop.It's not a MDI form; I can't use a MDI form for this project because it's too limited for me.

When my application first loads the parent opens and I select my child form from toolstrip:
'In parent open the form when option is clicked
Public Sub Showfrmitemreview(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles itemreivewStripMenuItemA.Click, itemreviewStripMenuItemB.Click
[Code]....
Nothing happens I don't even get an error message. I've played around with the code numerous times and the only thing that worked was to have it open outside of the parent which I do not want to happen.

I'm writing an MDI app in vb.net vs2010. The MDI form has the default MDIMenustrip menu with several menu items. Each has some subitems. None of the child forms have a menustrip defined. I thought it would be easy to call a public subroutine in the MDI that would disable or enable the MDIMenustrip items. If I execute the routine from the MDI form, the menu items disable/enable just fine. THe problem I have is when I call the routine from a child form. How can I control the MDI menu from a child form?

I have a main form, and some sub forms, and each sub form can have some sub forms. When I have multiple sub forms open, and I try to get data from the parent form, it returns the data from the wrong parent form.For example I have two instances of Mainform.subform running. If I do something like this in a child form of one instance of the subform. It returns data from the other subform.
dim l = Mainform.subform.listofdata
Edit:I am using visual Studio 2008. Winforms, form designed using designer. In my mainform I am doing this
Protected Friend frmMain as Mainform
frmmain = new mainform
In frmMain I am doing this
Protected Friend frmsub as new Subform'
frmsub = new subform

I need to know the proper way, or maybe I should say, the different ways to call another form from a parent or preceding form. I am currently using ex: formname.showdialog() to call my next form, but I am uncertain if I should be using that in every situation. [code] Whats the difference between these different methods? (ex: .showdialog() , .show() )I tried both of these to open a temporary form to retrieve a persons name from a database, so as the users progresses through my training program they can keep track of their scores.But, I also call other forms as I branch through my program, from the main page, to a secondary page, to a testing page, to a results page and then back to the secondary page

I can't find a way to change the opacity of a mdi form within it's parent. I can change the parent form's opacity under properties, but can't change the embedded mdi form's opacity under it's properties. Opacity = 0.5 doesn't change the opacity of the mdi... works fine for the parent form. I was hoping that the embedded mdi forms functions would still be independent of the parent in order for me to change it's opacity.

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.

I've made a project with a menu.This menu is placed in a form which i use as a MDI Parent, and all the other forms are opend in this parent form.Everything works ok.
When I open a menu item (eg form A), the form display's correctly.But when I minimize the procject to the taskbar, and maximize it again, Form A shifted position a bit lower.
I can't figure out what's going on.

Pretending I have a class that inherits off Control, how would I handle the parent form's Resize and Move events within the control? I have a painting glitch that happens when the form is resized or moved. Right now in the form I just have:
vb.net Private Sub frmMain_ResizeMove(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _ Handles Me.Resize, Me.Move Me.Refresh()End Sub
But this can't be the proper way to do it, considering Refresh() invalidates all children (will be slow and flashing if the form has lots of controls). I want to basically do the above code inside the control.
Edit:This is the glitch after a resize of the parent form:
And this is what the button is supposed to look like:
Also, I experience this issue if something like a message box is dragged over top of it. How can I remedy these issues by forcing a repaint?

I have made a project on Library management system using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 and Sql server 2005 .I have used MDiParent form in this project, from where I can click on the menu item to open the desired form.
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.....

I'm just getting started in VBE 2008 porting a VB6 program and have created the MDI Parent form. I've added a form called frmNav and need to designate this and all subsequent forms as MDI child forms. Is there somewhere in each form's properties where I designate this? It used to be in VB6 there was a property called "MDIChild = True." input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!-- Session data--></input> <input id="jsProxy" onclick="jsCall();" type="hidden" />

I'm upgrading a project from VB6 to VB2008.I have a routine that clears a combo box, named 'cmbDataTable' which could be on any form. I pass the form and the combo box is cleared.
[code]...
I assumed it would be the same in VB2008 but I get the error.'cmbDataTable' is not a menber of 'System.Windows.Forms.Form'I am working my way through the project, first updating the global procedures - this is one - I haven't written the calls so cmbDataTable doesn't yet exist.

I have been looking around at how I can close my parent form and my child form. This article: [URL] has some information but it either doesn't work for me or I am putting the wrong information it. What I want to happen is when a button is pressed I want to close both parent and child forms and then go to another form (frmResults). Then there will be a button on frmResults that will take me to the beginning form (frmPTCalculator). With this code below when I click the button on frmCalculator it goes to the MDI form and both parent and child forms are there.
my Parent form is called: frmGender
my Child form is call: frmMale & frmFemale
Below is what I have tried from the example in my Child form frmMale:
Private Sub btnResults_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnResults.Click
Dim frm2 As frmMale = New frmMale()
AddHandler frm2.FormClosed, AddressOf frm2_FormClosed

In all my post I have explained I am a total novice so a little more elementary explanation is normally required in my case. I have tried reading the explanations about Parent and child binding but just cant get it to work.This is what I have:
A parent form called Sites Primary key is pkSitesID Various other fields On that form I have placed a tab control and in page one I dragged SitesInstallation to it there is a relation created in the DBDiagram to link fkSitesID (in the sitesinstallation table) and pkSitesID
All I want to do is when I navigate through the Sites records the data in the tab page changes according the values I have selected for that given site.
For example: The Siteinstallation maybe Pending or on air.
