Hi All!
I have a query regarding the best practice when working with data driven MDI children... lets say that the user had a number of windows open, within one of these open windows I have a 'Receipts Total' text box which will give the total amount of all receipts held in the database.
Now, from another MDI Child, the user selects a button which opens a window allowing them to add a new receipt to the system, this is simply a form and a save button... when the save button is clicked, a message box informs them that the new receipt is saved and the add receipt window is closed.
My problem is that all MDI children will now need to be closed and reopened by the user for the totals etc to be updated... how I would I go about triggering a 'refresh'n of all the MDI children to make sure that when a receipt is saved, the new values are reflected across the application?
Many Thanks in Advance!!
