MDI: Show Child then show another Child

[LLM]

When my MDI app loads, it shows a child form centered. This form has buttons as choices. When a button is clicked, that form closes and another opens.

From the second window, if they click the X to close the window, I want to show the original form again. If they click a button on that second window, I do not want to show the original form.

I am lost how to accomplish this. How do I know when the X is clicked to close the window. Or can I disable it and provide my own close button?

Thanks in advance!

try this:

sub on_form_chlid2_closing
form_child1.MdiParent = mdiForm
form_child1.show()
end sub

What I am missing is how to reopen the 1st child when the 2nd child is closed. The 2nd child can close with a button call to a 3rd child. I want to reopen the 1st child when 2nd child is closed with the X at the top right.

it might work with a flag:


Dim UserCloseBtn as boolean
UserCloseBtn = False

sub on_form_chlid2_closing()

if UserCloseBtn then

form_child3.MdiParent = mdiForm
form_child3.show()

else

form_child1.MdiParent = mdiForm
form_child1.show()

end if

end sub

sub on User_Close_Btn_Click()

UserCloseBtn = True
me.close()

end sub

Thank you! I will try this!

Worked like a charm! Thank you so much!
