MDI Parent and child

[kaisersoze]

I am working on desktop application. I have a question?

I have one MDIParent and I am able to load child calling from mdiparent. but, when I am calling a child from another child i get an error. can some one help me how to call the one mdichild form within another mdichild (on a clickevent of a button) and load in the same mdiparent.

Newbie Question: What is Mdi? How would I use it? A short and simple answer is all I'm looking for.

 

Thanks!

What about code in C#?

 

"vShowReports.MdiParent = Me.MdiParent"

MDI = Multiple Document Interface

That doesnt say much though ;).

 

It is the way Word 6 and 7 used to handle documents. You had one winword 'master' window, that could spawn several child forms. These childforms would stay inside the master window.

 

Other example: MS Access still uses MDI: it got the big 'access' window, with other windows inside for the database, forms, tables, queries, etc. One of the nice tricks of MDI is that the menubar and toolbar of the childwindow is integrated into the mainwindow. If you choose another childwindow (for access you select a query instead of a form) the menu and toolbar will be changed to reflect the change in actions you can take.

I would add a ';' at the end to make it "vShowReports.MdiParent = Me.MdiParent;" ;)

"vShowReports.MdiParent = Me.MdiParent"

 

vShowReports.MdiParent = this.MdiParent;
