Hi VB.Net Gurus.
Initial MDI Child form loads fine.
exp.
Dim objChild2 As New Form2()
objChild2.MdiParent = Me
objChild2.Show()
MDI Child unloads just fine.
Exp.
If e.Button Is tbbExit Then
'' Me.Close()
Me.Hide()
rs.Close()
cn.Close()
End If
The MDI Child reload does not reload into the parent form.
It reloads outside the parent form.
exp.
Dim oForm As New Form2()
oForm.MdiParent = Me.ActiveMdiChild
oForm.Show()
Regards,
Tony
Why not use this again?
Dim oForm As New Form2()
oForm.MdiParent = Me.ActiveMdiChild
oForm.Show()
Because loaded by another form's label link yields this;
Additional information: The form that was specified
to be the MdiParent for this form is not an MdiContainer.

Int he first part which works you have
objChild2.MdiParent = Me
In the second part, which doesn't work, you have
oForm.MdiParent = Me.ActiveMdiChild
Why would you be trying to set the MdiParent to Me.ActiveMdiChild?

Go to the proerties of the form in question and look
for 'isMDIContainer' set this property as true then use
the code:
\\\
Dim oForm As New Form2()
oForm.MdiParent = Me.ActiveMdiChild
oForm.Show()
///
to call another instance of the child from anywhere in
the form that you just made a MDI container
Now, the first instance won't load.
Err. message;
Additional information: A form can't be both an MDI child and MDI
parent.
Also, any subsequent forms that I want to load from the menu form,
load successfully, but do not load into the parent form next to the
menu form. It loads outside the parent form. I'm trying to get all forms
to load into the parent form as in VB 6.0

Whoops never mind about that, I misread the code.
Er, your code looks fine. Here is a simple working example of what I think
you're after, though I'm not sure you need it. If it doesn't help, you should
post code that reproduces the problem you're having.
Bob

Bob, "If afrm Is Nothing OrElse afrm.IsDisposed Then"
Here's a problem. Don't use OrElse. Use Or.
Use "Or" if you want to ensure a NullReferenceException! :-|
Remember that "OrElse" is short circuited where as "Or" is not. Which means
that if afrm is Nothing, OrElse will not attempt to call afrm.IsDisposed,
avoiding the NullReferenceException.
However!! Or will attempt to call afrm.IsDisposed whether afrm is Nothing or
not.
Hope this helps

Jim,
I would expect your method to work.
Are you having a problem with your method or did you offer it as a solution
to the OP?
Bob's advice is not very sound, as it will ensure a NullReferenceException
when afrm is Nothing, where as your sample will correctly avoid the
NullReferenceException via the OrElse operator.
I don't see any problems with your sample, which is why I am asking if you
had a problem with it.
Hope this helps
