MdiParent Question

[Jassim Rahma]

I have a dialog form and appears on the top of MDIContainer (frmMain)
and I want when the user close the dialog form then an MDIChild should
be open on the frmMain. I tried:

myMDIChild.MdiParent = frmMain();


but it didn't work.. I also tried:


frmMain MainForm = new frmMain();
myMDIChild.MdiParent = MainForm;


with no luck. I am not getting any error message but the MDIChild form
is not openning..




Many Thanks,
Jassim Rahma

you are not calling .Show() after setting the MdiParent property, so in the
examples given you need to

myMDIChild.MdiParent = frmMain();
myMDIChild.Show();

I don`t understand your thinking. It`s better that you send us a hole code.
Maybe... myMDIChild.Show();

I am already calling Show() but sorry i forgot to paste it in my post.
