Mdi Child Form in Mdi Parent Form

Hi,

I am developping a Visual C++ application. In my application, I
created a Mdi parent form with a main menu. I also created a
"menuItem" click to display a Mdi child form. I want in this case to
display the Mdi child form in all the Mdi parent form.

The problem is that the Mdi child form seems to be minized in his
parent ( The Mdi parent form ). I have to use the "Maximize" icon of
the mdi child form to make it displayed in all the Mdi parent form.

Do you know how to display the Mdi child form in all the Mdi parent
form without using the "Maximize" icon of the mdi child form ?

Thanks.

If this is a .NET form object then all you have to do is set the WindowState
property of the child form in either the constructor or the OnLoad event as
shown below...

WindowState = FormWindowState ::Maximized;

I haven't been able to figure this out and would appreciate some help... I have two tables, both with autonumber primary keys, and linked in a conventional master-child relationship. I've created forms for both those tables, and inserted the child table form into the master table form as a subform. It works just as it is supposed to, in that I can create a new master record, and then add detail records.

I did a ton of searching to try and find a simple solution to this issue and finally wrote my own, which I am sharing with everyone. In my searching, I did find a very complete and robust solution at http://weblogs.asp.net/asmith/archive/2003/09/15/27684.aspx but it was far more complex then I needed. (I got lost trying to figure it all out). Therefore, here goes my simple "web dialog box with parent event handler fireing" solution. ...

I am really trying to find the best OOP way of doing this. I have a parent MDI form with multiple children and I am trying to communicate variables between them.

For some reason, when I click the X to close my MDI parent form, the action appears to be re-directed to one of the MDI child forms, and the parent remains open. I am then unable to close the application. What should happen, is that the main MDI form should close, taking the child forms with it. There is code to loop through the child forms, remove the controls on each of them, and then close the form, but this code should execute only...

Help! Another newbie question I'm afraid. I have a toolbar on an MDI form, which I can control OK to produce a child form. When the child form is active, the appropriate MDI parent form toolbar button properties are set as follows: .pushed=true and .enabled=false. My problem is how do I set the reverse conditions when I close this child form? I have tried putting (in the Exit button click event) Toolbar1.Buttons(6).Pushed=False...

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?
