Avoid A MDI Form To Show The Min.max && Controlbox Of A Child One When It Gets Maximized
Hi everyone,
i continue with my project (an just-put-me-in-your-form-n-i-will-skin-it activeX)
so, i research a little in here and found how to modify at runtime the borderstyle of a form, remove the min, max & close button, and also remove the controlbox... that was using APIs (FYI: the form properties values remain with their original values, even when the form is actually modified)...
ok, everything works fine, it also works with MDIForms... BUT...
when i maximize one of the MDIChild-true forms inside the MDIForm, its min,max,close buttons & controlbox are displayed at top of the MDIForm (at top because it has no title bar or border)...
can i avoid this behavior without having to specify at design time a false-value for minbutton, maxbutton & controlbox properties for the MDIChild-true form ????
Thanx in advance...
Have an excellent day

Hi there,
How can I create a child form that attached to the MDI form so that the MDI form and the child form looks like a single main MDI form in runtime ?

Returning A Value Found In A Child Form To A Specific Text Box In The Parent Form?
I have two forms. A parent and a child. The parent has many labels which are selectable. Once one of the many lables is selected, a child form pops up to gather info. Once the info is gathered, i want to be able to put that info into the label in the parent form which called the child! How can this be done? The problem i cant get past is when the child returns, i have no way to know which label called the child in the first place to put the info in.
Thanks in advance
Call The Save Method Of An MDI Child Form From The MDI Form Toolbar Menu Caused Error
Hi all,
This step-by-step article 818367 describes how to call the Save method in a multiple document interface (MDI) child form when you click the Toolbar button on the MDI Form.
However, execute statement <Me.ActiveForm.cmdSave_Click> ended up with error saying "Object does'nt support this property or method". Please advise and appreciated.
1. Start Visual Basic 6.0.
2. On the File menu, click New Project. In the New Project dialog box, click
Standard EXE, and then click OK.
3. In Solution Explorer, right-click Form1, and then click Remove Form1.
4. On the Project menu, click Add MDI Form.
5. In the Add MDI Form dialog box, click MDI Form, and then click Open.
6. Set the Name property of the MDI Form to frmMDI, and then set the
WindowState property to Maximized.
7. On the Project menu, click Add Form. In the Add Form dialog box, click
Form, and then click Open. By default, the Form1 form is created
8. Set the MDIChild property of the Form1 form to True, and then set the
Borderstyle property of the Form1 form to Fixed Dialog.
9. Add a command button and a text box to the Form. Set the Name property
of Command Button to cmdSave, and then set the Caption property to
Save.
10.To view the code editor, double-click the Save command button. Change
the Click event scope of the cmdSave event handler from Private to Public.
11. Repeat step 5 through step 8 two times. This adds MDI child form Form2
and MDI child form Form3.
12. Add the following code to the Click event of the Save command button of
the MDI child form Form1:MsgBox " Save event of MDI Child Form: Child1"
13. Add the following code to the Click event of the Save command button of
the MDI child form Form2:MsgBox " Save event of MDI Child Form: Child2"
14. Add the following code to the Click event of the Save command button of
the MDI child form Form3:MsgBox " Save event of MDI Child Form: Child3"
15. On the Project menu, click Components. Click Microsoft Windows Common
Controls 6.0, and then click OK.
16. Double-click the Toolbar control in the toolbox. Right-click Toolbar, and
then click Properties.
17. Click the Buttons tab in the Toolbar Properties dialog box, and then click
Insert Button to add a Toolbar button. Set the Caption property of the
Toolbar button to Save, and then set the Key property to Save.
18. Click OK.
19. To view the code editor, double-click the Toolbar to open in Code view.
20. Add the following code to the Click event of the Toolbar:
On Error GoTo NoActiveForm
Select Case Button.Key
Case "save"
Me.ActiveForm.cmdSave_Click
End Select
Exit Sub
NoActiveForm:
MsgBox Err.Description
21. Add the following code to the Load event of the MDI Form frmMDI to
show all the MDI child forms when the application starts.
Form1.Show
Form2.Show
Form3.Show
22. On the Project menu, click Project Properties. In the Startup Object
combo box on the General tab, click frmMDI as the startup object.

I have two things that I want to do: -
1) How do i disable the resizing of a MDI Child/Parent form when my application is run. For example when the program is being run I want the size of the forms to remain the same size all the time, in order to do this the user should not be able to resize the forms.

Any help will be much appreciated

How To Change Properties Of The Parent Form From A Modal Child Form, Plz?
I want to open a child form windows (frmPortSetting) and from there changing some ActiveX components properties (comTx) which are on my parent form (frmMain).
I wrote code in frmPortSetting sub procedure but it seems that I can't change comTx properties directly there. (e.g. comTx.settings(9600,n,8,1)) Any advise please?

Accessing A Unique MDI Child Form When There Are Multiple Instances Of The Same Form ???
In the application multiple MDI child forms are created as needed. An example is as follows:
Code:Private Sub LoadNewDoc()
Static lDocumentCount As Long
Dim frmD As frmDocument
lDocumentCount = lDocumentCount + 1
Set frmD = New frmDocument
frmD.Caption = "Document " & lDocumentCount
frmD.Show
End Sub
Say that frmDocument contains some subs that I want to call from a different location and multiple instances of this frmDocument are currently in existance. I would like to execute a sub from one of these already existing forms.
I don't know how these forms are uniquely identified to address one of them. I know that the hwnd is unique when they are created but I don't know how to use that for what I want to do. I am imagining an API thing using the hwnd value? I don't want to search all the forms' captions to find the one I want - too slow for what is required - just want to directly access a particular instance of the forms subroutines
Can anyone help?

Child Form Opens Up At Random In MDIparent Form

Open A Child Form At The Same Record As Its Parent Form
I am trying to open a child form from a parent form, say the parent form is on record number 20. 20 is the ID number for the record. I want the child form to then also move to record number 20.
These forms are of the same table data, I just want some of the data displayed on the child form top avoid congestion.
I've looked at DoCmd.GotoRecord and DAO options. I think an ADO option is too complicated for just form data.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

***RESOLVED***MDI Child Form Placement In Parent Form
I am using the MDI Parent/Child forms in my project.
I have one of my child forms open. On this child form is a command button which opens a second child form. I would like it if when the second child form is opened, it opens directly below the first child form. It would also be great if it would open below the first child form regardless of where the user has moved this form on their screen.
thank you

Displaying A Child Form Without Parent Form In Backround??
I want to create a form that behaves just like Outlook mail notification. I have an application that I want to display a notify form that something has happened. I want this notify form to display centered and topmost. Once the notify form is front and center I want the ability to act on it or select another application to have notify form disappear or minimized showing it on the taskbar. Then when I select the notify form from the taskbar, it will show but NOT have my parent application show.
I can set the form on the top and have it centered. I just need help with the rest.
Thanks,

VB6 MDI Form 'bleeds' When Child Form Loaded Or Unloaded
Has anyone come across this?
I've scanned microsoft KB and here and a few other places, but no one seems to have come across this... either that, or I'm not searching for the right words...
When my program displays or unloads child forms in a MDI form, the controls are painted one at a time, and the borders of the controls look like they 'bleed' through, until everything is painted.
I've been using the LockWindowUpdate function to control some of this, but in certain cases, it doesn't seem to have an affect.
Does anyone know if there is a solution for this problem? The original program was converted from VB3 if this has anything to do with it..
Thanks,
Earl
Positioning A Child Form Always In The Right Side Of The Mdi Form
I have a MDI form and a MDI child that I want to make it something like a panel in the right side of the window. So I entered code in the mdi form_resize event:
Code:
Private Sub MDIForm_Resize()
If Me.WindowState <> vbMinimized And TaskPane_Running = True Then
' resize also the right panel
frmPanel.Move Me.ScaleWidth - frmPanel.Width, 0, frmPanel.Width, Me.ScaleHeight
' frmpanel is bordless so i use lines that surrounds it
' i want the bottom line to be shown also
frmPanel.lnlBottom.Y1 = frmPanel.ScaleHeight
frmPanel.lnlBottom.Y2 = frmPanel.ScaleHeight
End If
End Sub
P.S. I have a menu, a toolbar and a status bar in the MDI Form also.

MDI Parent Form, Using Menus From Child Form
I have managed to do this before, but can't remember what properties I need to set so that when I select a child form the MDI forms menu has the child forms menu on the right of it's own menu... Does that make sense?
At the moment, when I select a child form, the MDI forms menu is replaced with the child forms...
It's going to be one of those days!
