MDI child form set for Center Parent does not center.

Hi all. Why doesn't the Start Position CenterParent work in a MDI child when
it opens in a MDI container? This is the code that opens it if that makes a
difference:

Dim smf As New frmSystemsMaint enance
smf.Show()

Regards,
Robert

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.

(I got lost trying to figure it all out). Therefore, here goes my simple "web dialog box with parent event handler fireing" solution. ...

I am really trying to find the best OOP way of doing this. I have a parent MDI form with multiple children and I am trying to communicate variables between them.

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 am using VB.NET 2003. I have read the threads concerning the problem where the FormStartPosition of CenterParent is ignored if the form is displayed with the Show method as opposed to the ShowDialog method. I am having a similar problem and I found a thread that had the following code in the child form's Load event: Me.Location = New Point(( _ Me.MdiParent.ClientSize.Width - Me.Width) * 0.5,

Help! Another newbie question I'm afraid. I have a toolbar on an MDI form, which I can control OK to produce a child form. When the child form is active, the appropriate MDI parent form toolbar button properties are set as follows: .pushed=true and .enabled=false. My problem is how do I set the reverse conditions when I close this child form? I have tried putting (in the Exit button click event) Toolbar1.Buttons(6).Pushed=False...

I set an MDI child form to Windowstate=maximized at design time. When I new up and show the child form in the MDI parent, the child's title is hidden since it's pushed to far up (below parent tool bar). On the MDI parent, the resize icon is displayed in the top right. That means the child is maximized right? What doesn't it fill the parent container area? When I click the resize icon, the child then jumps to the parent center and...

I'm using .NET 2.0. I have an MDI app. When I create the first child form, it appears in the upper left part of the MDI parent. The MDI parent is larger than the child. I have the child set to maximize but it doesn't. When I click the maximize box (displayed on the MDI parent's toolbar for the child), the child still does not maximize. It moves close to the center of the parent instead and comes into full view. I can't ever maximize...

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,...
