I have a form that shows another child form using the Show()
operation. Since the child is modaless, I would like the option that
when I click anywhere on the parent form that the parent form comes in
front of the child. I added a callback in the parent form to call
BringToFront() when I selected anywhere in the parent form, but it
didn't work. Is there an option that I can specify in the child form
to allow for this behavior?

Your button-click or whatever event that caused your parent form to open
the child form has not yet returned (i.e. your parent form is busy) and
cannot serve any more events.
If you want your parent form to continue operate independent of your
child form the child form has to be activated as a separate thread.

As noted in the initial post, the child was opened with SHOW ... NOT
ShowDialog. Events in the Parent window are being handled just fine.
Try again ...

OK. Figured it out ... the trick is to not specify the Parent form as
the child's "Owner." This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Hi Everyone,
I seem to be having a problem accessing a menuitem on the MDIParent from a
child form. From a login (frmSecurity -child form) screen, I need to hide a
menuitem based on the users role. The problem is that I can't seem to get
access to the menuitem. I can't get it with code like:
MDIParent.mnuAdministrator.Visible = true
MDIParent is the name of the form I gave. This is also the Startup form (in

I have a simple form with 4 command buttons and 1 label. The label is
sometimes visible and sometimes not. When it is visible I want it to be in
front of the buttons.
I've tried bringing the label to the front and sending the buttons to the
back. In design view the form looks fine, but whenever I open the form the
label is behind the buttons.
Has anyone else experienced this and know the solution? Is this a known
fault? I wouldn't think...

I want to call a method on the MDI parent from the child. Basically the
method will set some text (message) on a status strip and show the
appropriate icon (for the type of message).
I'd also like to put a progress bar on the MDI parent and
activate/manipulate it by the child
What's the best way to do this?
TIA

I have used the following javascript code to get a child window for parent window.
childWin =window.open(url,"window","top=250,left=250,height=100,width=480,status=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no");
As the child window is not a modal dialog, user can minimize the window and do other actions in parent window.
Please help me to avoid that.
Even if the child window is minimized, when user tries to do some action in parent window, ...

Hello folks,
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.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
