Hi A,
I gues you want to check if a 'Child' is open. (an MDI is the container-form
(parent))
I think the best practice is to create an accessible variable.
Look at the folowing code (you can put this in a genaral module)
If IsNothing(Child Forms.myChildFo rm1) Then
ChildForms.myCh ildForm1= New frmForm1
With ChildForms.myCh ildForm1
.MdiParent = ChildForms.frmM DI.ActiveForm
.Show()
.WindowState = wState
.StartPosition = FormStartPositi on.CenterParent
End With
Else
' Child is instanciated so bring it back to top
ChildForms.myCh ildForm1.Activa te()
End If
'Childforms' in this case is a "Shared Class". You can do the trick also
with 'plain' variables.
I use these classes because of readability and ease of use (eg:
intellisense)
HTH,
Michael

| Hi,
| how can I detect if an MDI is already open or not in order to prevent it
| from being opened again.
|
| How can I bring the MDI form to the TOP from the parent window.
|
|
| If I do a
| Dim myChildForm1 As New frmForm1()
| myChildForm1.Md iParent = Me
| myChildForm1.Sh ow()
|
| to startup the form in a Sub of the parent then i supposed I need to
| store the reference somehow in order to access it later from a different
| or even the same sub.
|
| Can anyone give me a hand on that ?

| Thanks
