Activate MDI Child

[Guest]

Hi,

I have an MDI Parent form with 2 mdi children.

I have implemented a copy of data from one child to the other, and the
target form should then become the active mdi child.

But when I try to do this:

frmEditor.MdiChildren(1).ActivateMdiChild()

I get a compilation error:
'System.Windows.Forms.Form.Protected Sub ActivateMdiChild(form As
System.Windows.Forms.Form)' is not accessible in this context because it is
'Protected'.


How can I explicitly activate an MDI Child please

thanks for any help

Philip

Hi Philip,

Have you tried using the simple "Activate" method ?

as in :

frmEditor.MdiChildren(1).Activate()

The ActivateMdiChild() method documentation says : (For .NET 1.1)

This member supports the .NET Framework infrastructure and is not intended
to be used directly from your code.
