Hi,

I have an application that connects to a server. The server might send
an event that should cause my app to go offline. However, the user
could have at that particular moment a wizard (in the form of a modal
dialog), which also could have other modals or message boxes on top of
it. When I receive the event, I want to be able to close the wizard
along with all its modal 'children'.

There was a solution, in having the modals listen for a particular
event, and close when they received it. However, as I said, I could be
using message boxes also. So I can't have those listening for the
event.

I need something like running through the forms of my app, and see if
they're on top of the given form. Then call Close() if that's the case.

I'm looking forward for your feedback.

Thanks in advance,
Cosmin.

Try:
Dim f As Form
For Each f In Me.MDIChildren
f.Close()
Next

I'm not using the Multiple Document Interface (MDI). Here is a
suggestion that could work, but I can't reproduce it so far:
