Yesterday, I posted a question about accessing controls on a child form. I had trouble understanding it. I am NOT rewriting this program, and need a way to work this out the way it is. Here is exactly what I'm dealing with: I have my main form(Form1), which contains a third-party main-menu and two third-party toolbars. Then there is its child form(frmTextControl) which contains a third-party text control set to fill docking. That is the only control on that form. When I have multiple instances of the child form(frmTextControl), I want to beable to assign the font of the active textcontrol ONLY. This would require access to the active MDI child form. I need to know how to name each intance of the child form, and to be able to have access to the active instance of the child form. And again, I don't want any alternate methods of accomplishing this, but how to do it with the setup I currently have. Thank You!
