Access A MDI Parent's Menustrip Without Merging The Childform Into It ?
Nov 11, 2009
I'm trying to accomplish something and not sure it can be done or rather if I'm approaching it correctly. Is there a way to access a MDI Parent's menustrip without merging the childform into it? I've done the merge before and that works fine. Reason I'm trying to figure this out is that I've started toying with a windows ribbon control and am wondering how the menu functions are performed with this control. In other words you wouldn't create one on each child form and have some how merge them so there must be a way to do this from the parent control.
Things I've tried thus far are to create a public sub in the childform that will save the data to a database. Once the save button is clicked in the mdi parent's menustrip and determines the activechild it will then call that sub procedure on the childform. However it doesn't persist the data, in other words passes a whole lot of nothing to the database even though the values don't dissappear on the child form.

The Parent has a Tool Strip and on the tool strip is a button that when clicked loads the child, this works fine.But when I set the child form to maximize its title-bar jumps over the Parent tool strip. Pushing it down a bit. I do what this. I would like the child to be completely contained within the Parent including the Parent forms tool strip.

I have an MDI application that uses the menustrip control. When the MDI Child window is maximized, there is no way to restore its size. There's a restore on the MDI parent but that restores the entire application. However, when I use the Main menu, there are two sets of Maximize/Minimize controls, one for the MDI parent and one for the MDI Child. The Mainmenu control adds a band that is used to display the Maximize/Minimize controls but the band the menustrip creates is not used to do the same.

When the parent form has a menu strip and the child form has a menu strip the program will add all of the child menu items to the right of the parent's items. I have two parent items "Help" and "Exit" that I want to always be at the right. Is there a way to add the child options into the middle?

Small problem on vb2008 express:I have added a menustrip on a form, and I would like to add a drop down list or a combobox on that menulist and populate the fields from my access database.
Unfortunately I can't find the data source connection I would usually find on combo boxes used inside the form and not in a menu strip.Can someone please tell me how I can populate a combo box or a drop down list that is located in a menu strip?

I want a menu with just two dropdown lists, the menustrip puts a strip right across the form, is there any way to change the width of the strip? Changing in properties does not work. Is there a different type of menu I can use?

in An MDI form , i make a childform with textboxes. these textboxes are produced by the code, like this:
For i As Integer = 0 To number Step 1
Dim TextBox As New TextBox
ChildForm.Controls.Add(TextBox)
[Code]....
In another sub within the MDI class i want to read the data from the textboxes, but got an error that says txtBox1 is not a member of 'WindowsApplication1.Form1'.This is true because they do not exist yet. How can i handle this? I think it has something to do with "delegate and invoke", but this seems to be hard to understand.

Base form baseForm generate an array of childForm (3 fo them). I have one event handler in baseForm which is called when user close each childForm. The problem is that this event handler is only called when the last childForm is closed. When other childForm is closed, the event handler doesn't do anything.

This is a challenging one that got me stumped while I was coding today. Suppose I am running the Sub Test1() and Test2() and would like to print out the value of the Shadows method of the instance of the object I am passing in to TestCall() (see below - it is clearer) using the following restrictions:
Can't change the contents of Class A, B, and C
Can't change Sub Test1() and Sub Test2()
TestCall() can't have an if, select case etc. statement that tries to figure out the type

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
