Hello all
I have a MDI Parent Form with some childs.
I need to know how can I setup a child form in order to disable access for
other forms "in the back".
I need that only the active form be available until the user closes it.
Thanks a lot.

You could use ShowDialog:
MyModalForm.Sho wDialog(MyMDIPa rentForm)
The modal form won't be a true MDI child (I don't think, but I've never
properly checked), but it works fine for me in similar situations, and
it still makes the MDI parent form the owner of the modal form.
Thanks a lot.
It Works.

Hi,
I tried this as I would like something similar in my program under certain
circumstances, but if I set the MDIParent property of the child form to my
MDI form, when I call ShowDialog(MDIF orm) I get an error:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Form that is not a top-level form cannot be displayed as a modal dialog box.
Remove the form from any parent form before calling showDialog.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If I do not set the MDIParent property then the modal form isn't contained
within the MDI form and that rather defeats the object of using an MDI
container form.
Have I missed something obvious or is this what you mean by 'The modal form
won't be a true MDI child '?
Thanks,
Martin.

I don't have the code in front of me, but when I don't think I set a
MDIParent for the modal dialogue. I think I just set the MDIParent as
the Owner of the form, but did not set it as the MDIParent. So yeah , I
guess the modal form won't be a "true MDIChild" form. For me this
kludge works fine. If you can get the child form to be a True MDIChild
AND modal, I'd be interested to know how. ;) This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Ok, here goes. I've been trying to improve encapsulation by putting code
in the same object as the stuff it affects, so I rarely refer to a subform
ir parent form's controls or records from the other form. Instead, I call
a procedure in that form that does the job.
That's all fine and good, and nothing at all revolutionary, but it leaves
one with an annoying...

I have two tables, both with autonumber primary
keys, and linked in a conventional master-child
relationship. I've created forms for both those
tables, and inserted the child table form into the
master table form as a subform. It works just as
it is supposed to, in that I can create a new master
record, and then add detail records.

Hi All,
I just wonder if in C#, I can develop a user defined control that can call
its parent function which is not yet developed. For example, how do I make
my user control call a to-be-developed-function cmdOkay_Click() function as
described below.
1. Create an user control that contains an OK button as below
Public Class MyButton:System.Windows.Form.UserControl

I'm trying to enable a menuitem in the parent form from a mdichild. Rather
than making the menuitems public, I'd go for a public method in the parent
form to do the change, but when I call the method from the mdichild, I get
this error:
C:\MyProjects\Visual Studio Projects\Tournament\Forms\frmLogin.cs(69): The
name 'test' does not exist in the class or namespace 'Tournament.frmLogin'
frmLogin is the mdichild.

Hi everyone,
could someone give me some thoughts on the best way to manage mdi
parent and child forms?
in vb6 i could scroll through the forms collection and determine which
forms were open/closed and their current state. now i can't.
before i didn't have to declare numerous named instances each time i
loaded or unloaded a form.

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 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.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

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.
