Launching MDI child forms

[hazejean]

Need to launch several MDI child forms from main form.

Need to preview text and edit results from each child form in mainform before writing text to disk.

 

Need coding ideas.

 

thanks

Are you saying that you want to send some text back to the parent so you can see what it is? You could make a method ni your parent form that could accept a string where you check what the text is and if it is waht you want write. And to use that method from your child you would use the MDIParent property:

Dim parentform As ParentFormType = Me.MDIParent 
parentform.CheckThisString("some text")

Or other way:

DirectCast(Me.MDIParent, ParentFormType).CheckThisString("some text")

If this is not what you wanted just say :)
