MDI child form event

al
Hi,

I have MDI form with 4 mdichild forms. I would like to enable Windows
menu-item as more than 1 mdichild form loads. The problem i'm having
is when MdiChildActivat e event is raised, it does not handle any event
beyond that. What event should I use to handle Mdichild closing
event. (i'm looking for mdichild form event, not event related to
forms by name)

MTIA,

Use 'AddHandler' when creating a new child form to add a common handler
to the MDI children's 'Closing' events. In the 'sender' parameter you
can check which form is closing.

I did a ton of searching to try and find a simple solution to this issue and finally wrote my own, which I am sharing with everyone. In my searching, I did find a very complete and robust solution at http://weblogs.asp.net/asmith/archive/2003/09/15/27684.aspx but it was far more complex then I needed. (I got lost trying to figure it all out). Therefore, here goes my simple "web dialog box with parent event handler fireing" solution. ...

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...

I have a MDI form, sometimes child forms and sometimes forms that are neither If I close the app the child forms closing and closed event happens followed by the Mdi form receiving the events.. But the regular forms that are also open do not receive that event. This is true whether there are child forms open or not.

Hi, My MDI (Parentform) form can have 2 two type of forms (Datagridform and graphicform). When users create a new form, they have to pick either child form. When those child forms are created and user move the mouse over on one of the child form, I want the rest of the childs form know about it. For example, when the cursor is moving on a graphicform, I want the rest of the graphic forms know the location of the mouse. The forms that...

vs2005, c# Trying to understand why one way works but the other doesnt. I have not tried to create a simpler mdi/child/showdialog app for posting purposes (I think even this would not be so small or simple). I am hoping the description will generate some ideas I can check out. PROBLEM: ----------------- Switching to UI thread using Invoke(), everything seems good.
