Changing the current mdi Child

[corrupt assasin]

Hey all,

 

How do i change a mdi child form from within a current mdi child form?

 

Like, for example, in the first mdiChild form, it has a button, and when pressed, i want it to close the current mdiChild form, and show the new one.... i have tried a couple of methods, but all it seems to do is close the current mdiChild, and the parent is blank :(

 

Help!

 

Cheers

You have a button and you want to show a new instance of another form? If yes then:

Dim someform As New SomeForm1()
someform.MdiParent = Me.MdiParent
someform.Show()
Me.Close()

ah ha! thats what i was doing wrong, the Me.MdiParent...

 

Thanks alot! :D
