Forms :: Access Variable Of Child Form?
Jan 3, 2012I have about 60 Child forms
Each have a variable with same name.
In Main form I want to set the value of the variable of the active child.
One way of doing that is like
Select Case Me.ActiveMdiChild.Name
Case "formName"
frmformName.Variable=0
I donot want to do that as it involves writing many cases and I may miss some.
Is there some other way of doing it .
I tried
Dim O as Object = Me.ActiveMdiChil
O.VariableName= 0
and its various variants but its not working

Jul 17, 2010Most of my treelist code is working ok, however I would like to produce two arrays of string, one which contains all the parent nodes in a Treeview, and the other with all the child nodes.

Forms :: Does VB.Net Support Picturebox Arrays
Dec 22, 2009I am trying to design a basic version of spaceinvaders. I have 6 pictureboxes on my form and the idea is to add a value to the picbox.top property that moves the boxes down at a certain time and speed that i have set in my timer control. The problem i have is i am trying to set properties for all the pictureboxes at the same time by using arrays.
An example would be
dim mypic() as picturebox = {pic1, pic2, pic3, pic4, pic5, pic6}
pic1.top = 10

Sharing Multi-dimensional Arrays Across Different Forms In VB?
Jul 9, 2011I have a very simple 2D array, it holds a list of song titles, their genre, and their runtime. frmMain loads the array from a text file and allows me to manipulate it and boil it down to a desired (implicitly sized) playlist. i want to THEN pass that playlist array to a second form, frmPlaylist The problem i'm running into....When frmPLaylist calls the Property from frmMain I receive an error that VB cannot convert the string value to a two dimensional array. Simplified...frmPlaylist is all locked and ready to receive a 2D array, but frmMain seems to only be sending a single string variable. on frmMain

Forms :: Save From A MDI Child?
Oct 12, 2010I am re-doing part of a GUI for my project, The Windows Alias Generator, and decided to switch to MDI. The child forms consists only of RichTextBox1. Here's the generate routine called when the save is clicked:
Private Sub SaveAsToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles SaveAsToolStripMenuItem.Click, SaveToolStripButton.Click
Dim ActiveMDI As Form = Me.ActiveMdiChild[code].....
But because I cannot define richtextbox1.text from the currently active MDI, I cannot use this routine...my question is this: How would I get RichTextBox1.text from the save option in the MDI form?

View 2 RepliesMDI Child Forms Not Interacting
May 11, 2012I have a MDI parent on which i launch a child form
Dim NewMDIChild As New Frm_addOT
'Set the Parent Form of the Child window.
NewMDIChild.MdiParent = Me
'Display the new form.
NewMDIChild.Show()
His child form contains several comboboxes which hold data from a dbase(sql)
When new data is entered in the cmb it checks the database and if it isn't in there it launches another window
FRM_OTlistaddklant.Visible = True
and copy's the newly entered text in a textbox.
FRM_OTlistaddklant.TB_klantnaam.Text = OTaddklant_naam
then i can give in the details etc.
now, when this is done and the users presses a button "Add"
the information is written to sql(which works perfect)
than i have a public sub on the Frm_addOT which should refill the combobox and
also set the backcolor to a specific color.
and the last two things will not work. Actually when i try to change the backcolor on Frm_addot it triggers the event backcolorchanged and says it has changed but it is not visible.
MDI Child Forms Resizing
Jan 19, 2011Has anyone ever had or dealt with resizing issues on MDI Child forms? I am working on a VB.Net Windows applciation project I inherited from another devloper. When I took it over the forms had already been designed. There are one MDI Parent Form and two MDI Child Forms. When the application starts up the parent form and one child form open by default. Both the parent form and the child form will maximize, restore, and minimize. Although I have to move the parent form slightly, when it is not maximized I can resize it with the mouse pointer as expected. The child form will not resize and when I move the cursor to the border of the child form I do not even get the mouse pointer. Also, when both the parent and child form are maximized the vertical scrollbar on the child form is no longer displayed.
One potential problem is that there are lots of controls on the child form, which are inside several group boxes. When I comment out the controls, the blank form displays without the vertical scrollbar but will resize with the mouse pointer as expected. When I uncomment the controls the resizing does not work any more. The AutoSize propery on all of the controls is set to True. I tried commenting out the code setting the Autosize property to True on the group boxes only. The result of that is that the resizing still does not work and I lose the vertical scrollbar.I am trying to avoid having to redesign the form completely, however I am running out of alternatives. The project will not pass UAT if the resizing does not work.
MDI Parent And MDI Child Forms?
Feb 11, 2010I'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 also hook the TextChanged event for dirty logic but I can comment that out also to no avail.

Oct 5, 2009I 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
