I have a problem.
I have an MDI application. The child form displays just
fine if it's not an MDI Child.
Once it becomes an MDI Child though, it resizes itself
way too large. The controls become large, the font
large, and none of it fits on the form any longer...
I've looked everywhere I can think of but I cannot find a
solution to this problem. Has anyone else experienced
this and if so how do you fix it?

Hi IcedCrow,
Love the name :-)
An MDI Child takes it's cue, like children should, from its parent. If you drop a button onto your parent form it's likely that
that too will be outsized.
Take a look at the parent's Font. I imagine that will have been pumped up a bit too far, somewhere along the way.
If not, come back again :-)
Regards,
Fergus
Fergus,
Thanks for the help man. That was indeed the problem
*smacks head*... it's amazing how many different things
you look at when the answer is so blindingly obvious *lol*
Appreciate the help again!

Hi,
I have an MDI application which has aboout 10 child windows. The way
the app needs to work is that only one window should be visible at a
time and it should be maximized within the parent window. I have set
all my child windows to be WindowState.Maximized but after showing 2
or 3 windows, the windows all drop back to Normal state.
I have tried various things to overcome this inclusing overriding
OnResize etc but none seem to give...

I've noticed that controls that are contained in MDI child forms fail to raise MouseLeave events if the MDI child form's MdiParent property is set to Nothing (after it was set to an existing MDI container form) or if the MDI child form's Visible property is set to False (after the MDI child form was shown). This is an enormous problem for my app because I must show different MDI child forms based on the state of my application and many of the...

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...

Hi,
I have an MDI application that uses a generic "ShowPage" routine in a module that is called when I want to display a child form. The basic idea is that in the module I have declared each form as follows:
Friend F0 As frmMain
Friend F1 As frmStart
Friend F2 As frmSearch
Then in my ShowPage routine (which is passed a string "pageToShow" which is the name of the form I wish to open), I first check to see if we already have an instance...

Let's say I have an MDI parent form with a textbox. If I create an MDI
child form and, at runtime, move the MDI child window over the textbox on
the MDI parent, the textbox appears in front of the MDI child window.
How can I make the MDI child window appear in front of any controls that may
be on the MDI parent?
thanks, John

Why does VB ignore my width and height settings of my Mdi child form.
I have a parent form. On the left is a treeview with a splitter. I
want to open a child form up in the remaining space and size the
controls on it according to the width of the main form. So:
On the parent form:

Hi,
I have been struggling with this problem in C# for a while.
I have created a form with about 4 panels on it. The main panel is set to fill the screen when it resizes. (Panel1 = Dock Top; Panel2 = Dock Bottom; Panel3 = Dock Left; Panel4 = Dock Fill)
c:\temp\panel1.gif
I have another form that I add to this panel 4. The problem is that if I have it open up as part of the form (child form), it resizes (which is correct), but...

In my Mdi Application, I load a default child form at startup using
WindowState = Maximized.
If I open another child form, it is also Maximized. When the child form
maximizes, it looks like all of the active child forms (all 2 of them) go
through a series of changes from WindowState Normal back to Maximized. It
does it quickly (say 400 ms), but it is noticable and it irritates me (since
I designed it, and did not intend for this to...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

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,...
