its validating method called when its created and the show method is called.
Any help would be apretiated.

Alvaro,

It is not called when it is created, it is called when it looses focus.

So by example if you call 2 MDI forms behing each other the first one will
go validating when it is loosing focus because of the showing of the second.

I hope this helps?

I understand that the validating method its called when the control loses it
focus. I am only opening one form when the menu option is selected. the
thing is if i dont do the assignment to MDIParent atribute the validating
method isnt called, and if I do do the assignment then the validating methot
is being called.

Thank you Cor for trying to help. I apretiate it...
