MDI Child Window Placement

Strange thing is happening.. I have the StartPosition of my MDI child
window set to CenterParent (at design time), yet when I close the window
and re-open it the start position gets shifted down and to the right
every single time, more and more.

This window will only ever be open once, but could be closed and
re-opened quite a bit - I'd like for the start position to stay the same
every time. Why would it be moving?

Hi

I have reported the problem, so far as a workaround I think you may try to
calculate the position manually.
e.g.

Private Sub MenuItem1_Click (ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s) Handles MenuItem1.Click
Dim fm As New Form2
fm.MdiParent = Me
fm.StartPositio n = FormStartPositi on.Manual
fm.Location = New Point(Me.Left + (Me.Width - fm.Width) / 2, Me.Top
+ (Me.Height - fm.Width) / 2)
fm.Show()
End Sub

Hope this helps.

Best regards,

I am writing an MDI app that uses a document manager class to keep track of opened child windows.

Even though my document manager maintains the instance of the child and displays the name in the menu, when I try to use the show() method or the activate() method on a...

Further to my last post, I have managed to get a child window to display. But its messages are routed to the same WNDPROC that the main window's messages are routed to - what is the way of identifying from the lParam or wParam whether the message came from a child window or the parent? And what if the message uses some other data in the wParam or lParam? Is it better to use one wndproc for the parent window, and one wndproc for all child windows...

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. ...

I've created a simple MDI application and have designated the Window menu to keep track of the mdi children. When I first load an mdi child, it's caption consists of "File: no file loaded" and this is what appears on the Window menu. Now, after the mdi child loads, I call a method to load a specifically named file. At this point, the child changes it's caption to reflect the new file name. Unfortunately, the Window menu does not update...

Overview: 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,...
