This could be a difficult one, so please bear with me.
I've an assembly containing Delphi 2006.NET forms.
A C# app, via reflection opens these forms . This works fine - I've a C#
app, opening Delphi 2006.NET forms.
Some of these forms are MDI Child forms. Exceptions are thrown - "Cannot
create form - No MDI Forms are currently active" when the C# app tries
to open one of these.
The C# app does have the property MDI Container = True. I realise it is
the Form that I'm trying to create throwing the exception, rather than
the C# application - the Delphi Form expects the opening form to be of
form style fsMDIForm.
Does anyone know of a way around this? i.e. I want the MDI children
(delphi forms) to be happy about opening in a C# application whose main
form is an MDI Container.
I really, really, really, really need to be able to do this. Hope some
genius is out there....
Thanks
M

Mucker,
I'm guessing that whatever the Delphi form is, it derives from the Form
class in the System.Windows. Forms namespace. With that assumption in mind,
are you setting the form's MdiParent property to the MDI container form in
your app?

Hello:
I am encountering a very weird issue with MDI child, Overriden WndProc
function and hidden form.
Basically, the application has two forms, Form1(parent form),
Form2(Child form), Form2's WndProc method is overriden, if the message
is CLOSE message, just hide the form. I first initialize and show the
child form, then close it by clicking the Close(X) button, the
overriden WndProc method gets invoked, and the form is hidden. Then

Hi, I am aware that TransparencyKey only works with top-level forms or
Non-MDI Child Forms, if one tries to set the opacity or

So, I tricked my Transparent Non-MDI Child form into my MDI-Container
form via SetParent API as seen here in my VB.NET sample (

I thought my problems are over, but apprently, even though I...

This is what I have - Form1 is an MDI Container, form2 is an MDI Child
of form1, Form3 is a model form. What I want to be able to do is
activte form2 as a child of form1 from form3. The problem is that
form3 is not a child of form1 so I have no way of setting the mdiParent
property from form2. Does anyone know how to set the parent property
in this instance?
The other thing that would work is if you could have a model child

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
