Minimize Main form when its child form is minimized

Tai
Hi all

I have 2 forms, frmMain and frmChild.
In frmMain, I declare a variable f as frmChid then Call f.ShowDialog()
I want when the child form is minimized, the Main form is also minimized automatically.
I tried some way to call frmMain.WindowS tate = FormWindowState .Minimized.
The result is my 2 forms are minimized but the side effect is the Child form is gone.

Dim f As New frmChild
f.ShowDialog()
Debug.WriteLine ("ShowDialog Returned")

When the main form is minized, I saw that f.ShowDialog is also returned.
It makes my child form goes away.

I appriciate much your help.

Hello! I have a mainManu where I can chose to display some window forms. When the mainMenu is minimized I need to minimize every window form that is started from the mainMenu. So I need to catch the event that is trigged when the little underscore(the minimize icon) up to the right is clicked. I need to catch this event because all my child window forms must also be minimized

I also un-checked all of the check boxes in the database's Startup options menu. I then added a button to the form so that the user can close the database, and another button so that the form can minimized. I made the minimize button so that when it was used, something would show-up on the taskbar and not on the desktop (above the Start button). I figured the users would get confused when they had multiple windows open and couldn't find the...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: 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,...
