not opening up another dialog box

yup
I was wondering if you know a way to have, let's say, you
would click on a menu bar item (where something like
file, edit, format, help options are on Microsoft Word)
and instead of opening a dialog box it would "switch" to
another page (within the program) and maintain the same
menu bar as before.

For example, in Quicken I would click on "Finances"
then "Account List" and a new page would open under the
existing menu bar. It wouldn't open another dialog box.
How would I do this?

I don't really understand what you mean, but maybe you want to develop
usercontrols (for each "page" one usercontrol) and instantiate them
dynamically on the form.

Hi Yup,
What you are saying sounds like a MDI form, I advise you to take a look for
that.
I hope this helps a little bit.

Hi,

I think I understand. I've seen Quicken and other programs do what you are
referring to.

Here's what I think is happening: the mdi parent is not changing; instead,
there is an opening child form that has been maximized to contain the entire
window; its buttons and borders have been removed, such that it appears to
be a part of the mdi parent, and the user is not able to alter that
condition. When you make your menu selection, a different child form
replaces it under the same circumstances.

If I get some time I will try to set something like this up; if it works, I
will contact you with more specifics.

HTH,

I have an application page with a datagrid with a checkbox on each row. The user should check the rows they want to modify and then click a button.

With XP SP2 installed the pop-up blocker stops the windows from displaying. Is there any way around this? My users are too stupid to turn off the popup blocker...

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,...
