MDI forms

[Kyle]

Hello;

I have as the startup object a mdi container form (parent). On that form is
a button and a status bar control. When the button is clicked another form
is shown. Its mdiparent property is set to the first form before being
shown. I would like to update the staus bar on the parent form from an event
in the child form but can't seem to figure out how to access that control
from inside the child form since it's on the parent form.

Any ideas?

Thank you.

This is not a dead on example but is still applicable.
Essentially, your MDI form would need to subscribe
to the events from the child form class.
