How to open a form From a closing One

[TCORDON]

I have an MDI application, I need to open an MDIChild whern another one
closes. How should I handle this. How do I assign the parent form?

If I use:

Sub Button1_Click()
dim MyNewForm as New Form2
MyNewForm.MDIParent=frmMDI ?
MyNewForm.Show
me.close
End Sub

This will not work because when the form closes it destroys MyNewForm

Thanks

Hi,

You're close - the trick is to call me close AFTER calling the other child,
assigning the parent BEFORE doing so:
dim MyNewForm as New Form2
MyNewForm.MDIParent = me.parent
MyNewForm.Show
me.close

HTH,

Have the child call a public method in the parent to trigger the new
form or (better) have the parent listent to the child's closing method
and act by itself...

Hi,

Actually, do the me.close immediately before the mynewform.show:
Sub Button1_Click()
dim MyNewForm as New Form2
MyNewForm.MDIParent = me.parent
me.close
MyNewForm.Show
End Sub
