Hi...
I hv created the MDI application in which parent form contians some ToolStrip buttons. I will call the child forms through the parent form menus. I have a problem in enabling the ToolStrip buttons in the parent form based on the button clicks of the child forms. On the button click of the parent form menu item which displays the child form, i have written childForm.MdiParent = this(parent form). Now the point where i am facing the problem is, on the button click of the child form, i want some toolstrip buttons of the parent form to be enabled. Can u help me in solving this issue?
