If this has been answered elsewhere can someone point me in the right direction. Instead of having visual studio's update screen i want to have my own screen pop up within my mdiparent form and have abit on the popup where i can display the changes that have been made (i can try and work this out with text files etc.)
View 3 RepliesI am trying to enable a timer on multiple MdiChildren and I'm getting an error. What am I doing wrong.

When i try to view MDIParent screen in designer mode I'm getting below exception...
`Could not find endpoint element with name 'NetTcpBinding_IMyService' and contract 'ClientProxy.IMyService' in the ServiceModel client configuration section. This might be because no configuration file was found for your application, or because no endpoint element matching this name could be found in the client element.'
Little background to understand my question more clearly...
I've a WCF server which I'm trying to consume in my Winform application. So i've created a separate class library in which i added service reference and created a proxy. I've copied the client endpoint info from app.config in class library to UI app.config file.
When i run the application everything is working fine but when i try to open MDIParent screen in designer mode its throwing above exception.
Note: I think i'm getting error because i'm trying to create a proxy object on NEW method (form constractor) if i comment that line - i'm able to view designer screen.
I have a program written in VB 2010 express under windows xp which does some heavy number crunching combined with serial communication. When it "gets too busy" it does not update the screen anymore (done simply with Textbox.text = "any text") and it does not respond to user input in any text box. Not even to a click on any text box. Is there a way I can get the program to do screen update and respond to user input while it is busy?

View 5 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 want to click a button on form frmStudyResultsFilter which will then display an MDIContainer form frmCalculatedResults (maximized).

I`m developing a desktop application using Visual Studio 2005 and a vb.net code.I`m using one MDIParent form 'frmMDI' and about 20 Child Forms. In the frmMDI there is a MainMenuStrip that contains 20 ToolStripMenuItems each one used to load a corresponding child form through this [code]So, that code is responsible to load a child form. Now what I`m facing after the loading of the child form is that the behavior of the controls of that child form is not so normal. you can`t set the cursor to the end of the text in a textbox.
View 17 RepliesHas anyone had any luck with having different window states with multiple open child forms?for example if you have a single child form opened and say it is maximized.then open a second child form as normal, the first form will then be set to normal.all the open child forms will mimic the newly opened forms state.and i believe they will mimic when making some changes to one forms state.the others will follow.i have not had luck keeping this from happening in most situations.

I'm tired of looking at the boring default dark gray back of an MdiParent. I tried using Juggalo's Gradient Form and realized that the MdiParent was not being painted, at all. A temporary work around was to create an Image and set it as the background. This is fine and dandy but when I bring the thing to full screen and drag around my MdiChildren forms, the application gets laggy. I have already tried setting the Form to Double Buffered and it doesn't work at all, no noticeable change.I did try editing the Form's Paint() event, but to no avail.Here's the code I'm using to create the image (practically from Juggalo's Gradient Form):
[code]...
Creates the image nice and fast. I want this to happen in the Form's Paint Event though, so I don't have to rely on an Image that causes my program to lag about.

Anybody know a way to detect and set the form size in the child and MDIParent forms?
I'm having all kinds of problems from scroll bars popping up, to can't get the form to fill the parent. Pretty sure I have tried every possible combination in the forms properties 10 times.
I'm really getting tired of beating myself against this. Anybody seen a good tutorial on the finer points of MDIparent / MDI Child page size, etc.
I would like to display the autoscroll bar on MDIParent form when user moves MDIChild form. I set the autoscroll to false on the MDIParent form, but it does not display the scroll bar. What should i do?
View 1 RepliesI have developed a small application. It has a MDIParent form on which the other childforms are displayed. I have a Panel on the MDIParent on which there are buttons to call up the MDIChild forms. Now my issue is, when anyone of the buttons on the MDIParents form Panel are clicked, it should check if another Childform is display, if it is then it (the active childform is closed) and the new form will be displayed. This part is working fine from the code below. However, when there are no active MDIChild form on the MDIParent form and if the button is clicked, the 'Else' part of my code below is executed. This generates the error as 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object'. So what is wrong with my code below?

Dim MDIChildForm As New frmExecutiveInfo

I'm struggling to get a label or any item updated during an event handler I've tried Form.refresh/update, application.doevent, trowing laptop out of window, etc...
If i check for TextChange event on the label and return the value in a msgbox it is set however nothing is shown on the form I'm calling COM's in a backgroundWorker so the form stays responsive as the COMS take quite a bit of time to handle certain parts and I dont want the form to look as if it hangs.
Private Sub cmsCon_Change(ByVal iState As ACSCN.LoginState) Handles cmsCon.NotifyProgress is where the update occurs in the handler by calling the UpdateStatus() Method

View 1 RepliesI have a video control AxLiveLib.AxLiveX that displays video from a networked surveillance system. I'm trying to integrate this system into an MDI project, but when I set the form.mdiparent property on the form that has the video control, I no longer display video.I have a status bar at the bottom of the form that tells me connection status and current bitrate, so I can see that I am connected to the system, and if I comment out the 'FrmV.MdiParent = me' line on the parent form, I can see the video through the control.My question is what changes about the child form when you set it's MDIParent property? for example does the mdi parent take control over the forms refresh or draw functions?
