MDI parent child an another modal form

7 New Member
Hi there. I'm having a little problem here with some forms.
Let me describe the problem: my application has a MDI parent form (the form that starts with the application); then when I click a button a modal form appears; this modal form has a button in it that when clicked should close itself, create a new child form for the parent and create another modal form. The thing is that when I click the button on the modal form it does close itself but the MDI child only appers after the new modal form (after I close the new modal form). Am I missing something?

Have you tried closing the modal forms using the DialogResult property?

Yup, Steve's full of tips, but hey, it makes him feel important, right? Ok, here goes. I've been trying to improve encapsulation by putting code in the same object as the stuff it affects, so I rarely refer to a subform ir parent form's controls or records from the other form. Instead, I call a procedure in that form that does the job. That's all fine and good, and nothing at all revolutionary, but it leaves one with an annoying...

Hi, I hope someone can help. I have a main form which mostly fills the Access window. In the bottom half of this form I have a tab control to display various types of data related to the main form record. In each page of the tab control, there are three buttons: Add, Update, Delete. Any of these buttons will open another, smaller form to add, update or delete the related data record. Originally, I had placed the smaller form such...

The child form can be dragged out of the Parent form. I set the child form to IsMdiContainer = False and the Parent Form IsMdiContainer = True. I also coded in the Parent Form on load, Dim f As New frmEntryForm f.MdiParent = Me What am I missing? The child form appears not to be attached to the parent form.

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

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,...
