Parent / Child Interaction

Hi guys

I'm sure this is really simple, but passing commands
between forms is a whole new thing to me, what I want to
do is when I load my child form I would like a menu item
on the parent to be enabled so I tried...

--\
Dim objParentForm As New MDIParentForm

objParentform.m enuitem46.enabl ed = True
--/
in the childs loads event, with no success
regards steve

Steve, maybe I'm missing something but in your parent form code when you
create the child, why don't you enable the menu item there too. Eg.
Private Sub createChild()
Dim f As New Form
f.MdiParent = Me
f.Show()
MainMenu1.MenuI tems.Item(whate ver).Enabled = True
End Sub

Ok that seems like a sound idea but how do I get access
to a list of indexes with their associated menu item names

I'd enable the item in the parent form when you load the child to avoid
accessing the parent from the child.

sorry that was a silly question since menu's are arranged
in a heirarichal structure the indexes are obviously
built in the same fashion, so there's no need for me to
access the collection, thanks for your help

If this is the same Stephen Smith that was posting a few months ago and
working from a step by step book, you seem to have come a long way. If its
you, keep up the good work.

Hello All, I'm working on a web app that will simulate a Windows app. One of the items that I've trouble reproducing is the parent/child interaction that might occur between a windo and popup custom dialog box (example: right click an item and bring up a Config/Properties dialog of the selected item). In a Windows app, I can add a handler in the Parent to respond to the "OK" event in the child window so that I can update the object's

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...

Hello, I'm coming from a PHP background and am working on a large-scale VB.NET project. One of the cornerstones of this project is a reusable form class, to standardize our web forms. My goal is to have a true hierarchical parent form class with child form element classes. The programmatic code would be something like this, ideally (sorry about the lame names, but it's just for demo):
