About MDI App

[George Varelas]

Could someone tell me how can I set a property on a control which locates in
the parent form from within a child form. The application MDI application.

In particular I want to set the "text" of the status bar of the main (parent
form) to something when the child form works and reset when the work is
over. The status bar of the parent form is public.

I don't know how can I reach controls they are contained in the parent form
in an MDI application.

In the child:

\\\
DirectCast(Me.MdiParent, MainForm).StatusBar1.<property> = <value>

Hi.
It did not work. The word "MainForm" is unknown for the compiler and it can
not perform the cast.

Replace "MainForm" with the class name of your MDI container form.
