  • Set MdiParent to null (Nothing) in FormClosed

    - by serhio
    In my project I observed that in a FormClosed method (that handles FormClosed event) is set MdiParent = Nothing (null). This code makes (? no idea why) that OnLoad(method) on some child panels is raised. Is there any sense to set MdiParent to null (Nothing) in FormClosed?

  • C# Question:Dynamically Disable ToolStripMenuItems/ToolStripButtons in an MDIParent Form: Which Even

    - by RedEye
    Any guidance on the following issue would be greatly appreciated. In which MDIParent event should I disable the items/buttons? Activated? On program Launch, I want the buttons disabled. If there are no active MDIChildren, I want the buttons disabled. When I launch a child form, I want to test that child form for data. If it is a blank form, I want the buttons to remain disabled. I currently have my code in the MdiChildActivated Event Handler. Thanks for your time.

  • Is MDI Form focused?

    - by Vercas
    I've had so much luck developing my application... until now. My application's main form is a MDI parent, and I didn't think of adding any MDI children in my tests until tonight. To my surprise, the MDI parent seems to never "get focus" now. The Focus event and the OnFocus method are never called! I mean... it appears focused but none of the in-code focusing events/methods work. Instead a MDI child reports the focus. How do I fix this?

  • How to focus a control in an MDIParent when all child windows have closed?

    - by Tim Gradwell
    I have a control in my parent mdi form which I wish to be given the focus if all mdi children have closed. I've tried hooking into the child form's FormClosed event and setting the focus from there but when I test it, my control is not left with focus when I close the mdi child. Can anyone tell me what I'm missing? In the sample below, "first focus" gets hit and does its job correctly (if I comment out the first focus line, my tree does not get focus on startup, so it must be doing its job, right?) Unfortunately, even though "second focus" gets hit, my tree does not end up with the focus when I close the child window. Sample using System; using System.Windows.Forms; namespace mdiFocus { class ParentForm : Form { public ParentForm() { IsMdiContainer = true; tree = new TreeView(); tree.Nodes.Add("SomeNode"); tree.Dock = DockStyle.Left; Controls.Add(tree); } protected override void OnShown(EventArgs e) { Form child = new Form(); child.MdiParent = this; child.Show(); child.FormClosed += new FormClosedEventHandler(child_FormClosed); tree.Focus(); // first focus works ok } void child_FormClosed(object sender, FormClosedEventArgs e) { tree.Focus(); // second focus doesn't seem to work, even though it is hit :( } TreeView tree; } static class Program { [STAThread] static void Main() { Application.Run(new ParentForm()); } } }

  • VB.net Net after load event?

    - by themaninthesuitcase
    I need some way of knowing when a form has finished loading. My reasoning is I have a 2nd form that is loaded when this form loads. The code for this is called from form1.load. Form2 is currently being displayed behind form1 as I am guessing form1 calls an activate or similar at the end of the load so any Activate, BringToFront etc calls on from2 are over ridden. If you look at the code below I have tried adding frmAllocationSearch.Activate, frmAllocationSearch.BringToFront and Me.SendToBack after the call to ShowAlloactionSearchDialog() but these are all wasted as something is happening after the load event is fired to bring Me to the front. Code is: Private Sub Allocation_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load ShowAlloactionSearchDialog() End Sub Private Sub ShowAlloactionSearchDialog() If frmAllocationSearch Is Nothing OrElse frmAllocationSearch.IsDisposed Then frmAllocationSearch = New AllocationSearch frmAllocationSearch.MdiParent = Me.MdiParent frmAllocationSearch.Info = Me.Info frmAllocationSearch.Top = Me.Top frmAllocationSearch.Left = Me.Left + Me.Width - frmAllocationSearch.Width frmAllocationSearch.AllocationWindow = Me frmAllocationSearch.Show() Else If frmAllocationSearch.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized Then frmAllocationSearch.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal frmAllocationSearch.Activate() End If End Sub

  • button of MDImenu can't disenable in VS2008

    - by colorlee
    Hi everyone. i had just started to learn VB and VS2008 and im doing some system due to my homework. i made a WELCOME form with a timer, 5s to pass to the next form which called Select. After passed to next form, itll me.visible = false. Theres 3 buttons on the Select form which call Customer, Staff and Exit. As i had just start, the button Customer will pass to a MDI menu call Customer Menu with a menu strip button called Quotation. Same, Select will me.visible = false when done. Then a problem occured, i made a Quotation inside the Customer Menu, such as the mdiparent of Quotation is Customer. I expected that the Quotation button will disenable to press after i pressed that button. But i fail to do that. And the code below: This is the code of MDI menu Customer Menu: Public Class frmCustomer Private Sub ExitToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ExitToolStripMenuItem.Click End End Sub Private Sub AboutUsToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles AboutUsToolStripMenuItem.Click Dim frm As New AboutMamatai AboutMamatai.ShowDialog() End Sub Private Sub frmCustomer_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load frmQuotation.MdiParent = Me frmQuotation.Show() frmQuotation.Dock = DockStyle.Fill Me.Location = New Point(220, 180) End Sub Private Sub QuotationToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles QuotationToolStripMenuItem.Click frmQuotation.MdiParent = Me frmQuotation.Show() frmQuotation.Dock = DockStyle.Fill End Sub End Class This is the code of the form inside the Customer menu: Public Class frmQuotation Private Sub btnExit_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnExit.Click frmCustomer.QuotationToolStripMenuItem.Enabled = True Me.Close() End Sub Private Sub frmQuotation_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load frmCustomer.QuotationToolStripMenuItem.Enabled = False End Sub End Class When im tryin to solve this problem, i found that the problem may cause of the me.visible = false of the Select form and Welcome form. Becoz when i set the Customer Menu be the first form to run. The problem is not exist. Is there anyone can help me ? P.S. I guess if the other two forms code is needed so i post them also This is the code of WELCOME form : Public Class frmWELCOME Private Sub frmWELCOME_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load Me.Location = New Point(270, 210) Timer1.Enabled = True End Sub Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick Timer1.Enabled = False Dim frm As New frmSelect frm.Show() Me.Visible = False End Sub Private Sub btnSkip_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSkip.Click Timer1.Enabled = False Dim frm As New frmSelect frm.Show() Me.Visible = False End Sub End Class This is the code of Select Form: Public Class frmSelect Private Sub btnCustomer_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnCustomer.Click Dim frm As New frmCustomer frm.Show() Me.Visible = False End Sub Private Sub btnStaff_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnStaff.Click Dim frm As New frmStaff frm.Show() Me.Visible = False End Sub Private Sub btnExit_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnExit.Click End End Sub Private Sub frmSelect_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load Me.Location = New Point(390, 250) End Sub End Class

  • n how to show cascade windows in Splitcontainer panel2 c#

    - by user1875373
    In MdiParent toolstripmenuItem, I'm writing the code to show all the windows in cascade or Tile Horizontal style. My code is: this.LayoutMdi(MdiLayout.Cascade); this.LayoutMdi(MdiLayout.TileHorizontal); This code will work in mdi parent only. But now I'm using a Split container in my Parent Form. In Panel1 I have buttons to Show the Form. In Panel2 My Forms will display, as: Forms.paymentPaid paidFm = new SalesandPurchases.Forms.paymentPaid(); paidFm.MdiParent = this; paidFm.Left = (this.myPanel.Width - paidFm.Width) / 2; paidFm.Top = (this.myPanel.Height - paidFm.Height) / 2; myPanel.Controls.Add(paidFm); paidFm.Show(); Now Because of my Split Container my code( this.LayoutMdi(MdiLayout.Cascade)) is not working for cascade the windows in Panel2. Please tell me any other way.

  • Single Instance of Child Forms in MDI Applications

    - by Akshay Deep Lamba
    In MDI application we can have multiple forms and can work with multiple forms i.e. MDI childs at a time but while developing applications we don't pay attention to the minute details of memory management. Take this as an example, when we develop application say preferably an MDI application, we have multiple child forms inside one parent form. On MDI parent form we would like to have menu strip and tab strip which in turn calls other forms which build the other parts of the application. This also makes our application looks pretty and eye-catching (not much actually). Now on a first go when a user clicks a menu item or a button on a tab strip an application initialize a new instance of a form and shows it to the user inside the MDI parent, if a user again clicks the same button the application creates another new instance for the form and presents it to the user, this will result in the un-necessary usage of the memory. Therefore, if you wish to have your application to prevent generating new instances of the forms then use the below method which will first check if the the form is visible among the list of all the child forms and then compare their types, if the form types matches with the form we are trying to initialize then the form will get activated or we can say it will be bring to front else it will be initialize and set visible to the user in the MDI parent window. The method we are using: private bool CheckForDuplicateForm(Form newForm) { bool bValue = false; foreach (Form frm in this.MdiChildren) { if (frm.GetType() == newForm.GetType()) { frm.Activate(); bValue = true; } } return bValue; } Usage: First we need to initialize the form using the NEW keyword ReportForm ReportForm = new ReportForm(); We can now check if there is another form present in the MDI parent. Here, we will use the above method to check the presence of the form and set the result in a bool variable as our function return bool value. bool frmPresent = CheckForDuplicateForm(Reportfrm); Once the above check is done then depending on the value received from the method we can set our form. if (frmPresent) return; else if (!frmPresent) { Reportfrm.MdiParent = this; Reportfrm.Show(); } In the end this is the code you will have at you menu item or tab strip click: ReportForm Reportfrm = new ReportForm(); bool frmPresent = CheckForDuplicateForm(Reportfrm); if (frmPresent) return; else if (!frmPresent) { Reportfrm.MdiParent = this; Reportfrm.Show(); }

  • Switching from MDI to SDI and Back Again

    - by Mike Hofer
    This sounds like it would be a simple task, but I'm running into some issues. I have some fairly straightforward code for my C# application: private void SwitchToSdi() { MainWindow mainWindow = GetMainWindow(); for (int index = mainWindow.MdiChildren.Length - 1; index >= 0; index--) { Form form = mainWindow.MdiChildren[index]; if (!(form is MainWindow)) { form.Visible = false; form.MdiParent = null; form.Visible = true; mainWindow.MdiChildren[index] = null; } } mainWindow.IsMdiContainer = false; } And then, private void SwitchToMdi() { MainWindow mainWindow = GetMainWindow(); mainWindow.IsMdiContainer = true; for (int index = Application.OpenForms.Count - 1; index >= 0; index--) { Form form = Application.OpenForms[index]; if (!(form is MainWindow)) { form.Visible = false; form.MdiParent = mainWindow; form.Visible = true; } } } Note that MainWindow is an MDI parent window, with its IsMdiContainer property set to True. The user can toggle between MDI and SDI in the Options dialog. That much works beautifully. If I switch to SDI, the new windows open up OUTSIDE the main window, which is great. Similarly, if I switch to MDI, they open up inside the container. However, I've noticed a few things. Open MDI child windows don't become SDI windows as I would have expected them to. Open SDI windows don't become MDI child windows as I would have expected them to. Even after I set IsMdiContainer to true in the call to SwitchToMdi(), if I try to open a new window, I get an exception that tells me that the main window isn't an MDI container. o_O Someone please throw me a bone here. This shouldn't be rocket science. But I'm not finding a whole lot of useful help out there on the Intarwebs (read: g00gle is fairly useless). Has anyone actually implemented this behavior in .NET before? How did you achieve it? What am I missing here? Halp!

  • Errorprovider shows error on using windows close button(X)

    - by Pankaj Kumar
    Hi guys, Is there any way to turn the damned error provider off when i try to close the form using the windows close button(X). It fires the validation and the user has to fill all the fields before he can close the form..this will be a usability issue because many tend to close the form using the (X) button. i have placed a button for cancel with causes validation to false and it also fires a validation. i found someone saying that if you use Form.Close() function validations are run... how can i get past this annoying feature. i have a MDI sturucture and show the form using CreateExam.MdiParent = Me CreateExam.Show() on the mdi parent's menuitem click and have this as set validation Private Sub TextBox1_Validating(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.Validating If String.IsNullOrEmpty(TextBox1.Text) Then Err.SetError(TextBox1, "required") e.Cancel = True End If If TextBox1.Text.Contains("'") Then Err.SetError(TextBox1, "Invalid Char") e.Cancel = True End If End Sub Any help is much appreciated. googling only showed results where users were having problem using a command button as close button and that too is causing problem in my case

  • Turn off MDI auto-cascading

    - by Serge
    Hello, I am attempting to automatically add some MDI windows: for (int i = 0; i < a.size; i++) { Form child = new Form(); child.MdiParent = this; child.Location = a.Location[i]; child.Size = a.Size[i]; child.Show(); } Now the size works fine, however the location is always cascaded at the top corner instead of the one that I have set. When I just add a new child form and set location it seems to work fine, however when I do many in a loop they all cascade.

    I'd successfully made a normal Form Transparent by handling the OPACITY property. Now, I want to make an MDIChild (loaded in an MDIParent) transparent. Is that possible? I'd applied the same technique (mentioned above) for the MDIChild. But, was unsucessful. Is it possible to make the MDIChild tranparent. Does anyone had done that before? Any hekp will be appreciated. Thanks.

  • C# PrintPreviewDialog Modification possible?

    - by C. Griffin
    Currently, what I'm doing is this: Using the built-in .NET PrintPreviewDialog Attaching my own Click handler to the Print button, which allows for the user to select the printer before finally printing. This all WORKS, HOWEVER, the OnprintToolStripButtonClick event is still sending the document to the default printer BEFORE the user gets to choose the actual printer and click Print (which works, but they're getting an extra copy on the default printer first from the old Handler). Can I remove this built-in Click handler? I've tried the other methods mentioned on here in regards to using an EventHandlerList to remove the handlers, but it doesn't work for the built-in printing event. Here is a copy of my current code in case it helps clarify: // ... Irrelevant code before this private PrintPreviewDialog ppdlg; ToolStrip ts = new ToolStrip(); ts.Name = "wrongToolStrip"; foreach (Control ctl in ppdlg.Controls) { if (ctl.Name.Equals("toolStrip1")) { ts = ctl as ToolStrip; break; } } ToolStripButton printButton = new ToolStripButton(); foreach (ToolStripItem tsi in ts.Items) { if (tsi.Name.Equals("printToolStripButton")) { printButton = tsi as ToolStripButton; } } printButton.Click += new EventHandler(this.SelectPrinterAfterPreview); // ... Irrelevant code afterwards omitted // Here is the Handler for choosing a Printer that gets called after the // PrintPreviewDialog's "Print" button is clicked. private void SelectPrinterAfterPreview(object sender, EventArgs e) { frmMainPage frmMain = (frmMainPage)this.MdiParent; if (frmMain.printDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK) { pd.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = frmMain.printDialog1.PrinterSettings.PrinterName; pd.PrinterSettings.Copies = frmMain.printDialog1.PrinterSettings.Copies; pd.Print(); } }

  • .NET Splash screen issues

    - by CODe
    I have a splash screen for my C# database application that is called via the Shown event. The splash screen contains some information that is preprocessed when the main form's constructor is called, hence why I'm using the Shown event, because that information should be available. However, when the splash screen is shown, the main form is whited out, and the menu bar, bottom menu bar, and even the gray background are all white and invisible. It looks like the program is hanging, but after the 5 second delay I have built in, the banner goes away and the program is shown normally. Also, on the banner, I have labels that are not shown when the splash screen displays... Here is my code, some reasoning behind why it isn't working would help greatly. SPLASH SCREEN CODE : public partial class StartupBanner : Form { public StartupBanner(int missingNum, int expiredNum) { InitializeComponent(); missingLabel.Text = missingNum.ToString() + " MISSING POLICIES"; expiredLabel.Text = expiredNum.ToString() + " EXPIRED POLICIES"; } } CALLING CODE : private void MainForm_Shown(object sender, EventArgs e) { StartupBanner startup = new StartupBanner(missingPoliciesNum, expiredPoliciesNum); startup.MdiParent = this; startup.Show(); Thread.Sleep(5000); startup.Close(); } Using startup.ShowDialog() shows the correct label information on the splash screen, but that locks up the application, and I need the splash to go away after about 5 seconds, which is why it's a splash. ;)
