I want to be able to 'make' a MDI Child Window appear at the same place in
my MDI container. For example, maybe I want this Child window to always
appear at Top=0 and Left=0; or, when the user exits my Child window, I save
the last location for that window, and then when the reopen the window I
want to restore the location they were at previously.
In my Load event, I set the .Top and .Left properties for my child window;
however, when it shows in my MDI container it is always positioned
automatically (cascaded) and NOT positioned at the place I told it too. How
can I make it appear at the location I want it to within the MDI container?
Thanks.

when you open your child....
Dim f As New Form1
f.StartPosition = FormStartPositi on.Manual 'here's the key
f.Left = 0
f.Top = 0
f.MdiParent = Me
f.Show()

Ah, .Manual was the key. That fixed it. Thanks!

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

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.

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,...
