I've got a situation in a VB 2003 Windows application with an MDI form and a
child form. In certain situations, when the child is closed by the user, I
also want to close the MDI parent. Is there a way to close the MDI parent
with code in the child form?
In the MDI child form, I have tried:
me.MDIParent.Cl ose
but that doesn't appear to work. Is that because of object references in
the parent that are still alive? Is this even possible?
Thanks!

Gillard, Form1.Close looks like a static method call on class Form1. Is
that what you meant?
DaveP, It is possible to close the app from the child forms. I would raise
an event for the main app to handle the close operation.

The idea of tryng to close the parent from the child never seemed qute
proper to me. The technique I have used is for the child to change a
property of the parent as it is closing, and then to put the code to clean
up the other children and close down the parent in the change event for that
parent property. At first it seemed like a kludge, but in practice it is
very effective. Of course, you should choose a property of the parent that
the user isn't going to change. For instance, change the text of the parent
to "Closing", and put the shutdown code in the parent's textchanged event.

I think this is a simple question. But I am new to JS. Here is what I
want to do:
From a parent window, open a popup window (child) to get data from
user, then user submit the request, close the child window, an ASP
page is generated from server and displayed with data in parent
window, rather than child window. Right now, I can display in child
window. But do not know how to display in parent.
TIA

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.

Hi this is related to a previous post, hopefully just a bit clearer
description o the problem. I have a parent form that opens a new form (child
form) while still leaving the parent form open. Although the child form has a
close button (with java script) if the user navigates the parent form to
another form the child form is still open. Just wondering if there is a way
to close the child form when the user navigates away with the parent...

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...

Hi,
I have an MDI application that uses a generic "ShowPage" routine in a module that is called when I want to display a child form. The basic idea is that in the module I have declared each form as follows:
Friend F0 As frmMain
Friend F1 As frmStart
Friend F2 As frmSearch
Then in my ShowPage routine (which is passed a string "pageToShow" which is the name of the form I wish to open), I first check to see if we already have an instance...

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. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
