Hi,

I wounder if someone could help me here: app has an MdiParent form - i
need to get some notification in form of an event when any MdiChild
forms are added to/removed from MdiParent.MdiChildren collection. I have
no control over children forms so i peed the parent form to fire this
event.

I didn't find any events of Form that would handle that.
Any ideas would be highly appreciated!

Thank you,
MuZZy
 
Hi MuZZy,

As far as I know, there is no event fired when you add a child form to an
MDI parent form. However, when you make a child form to be the MDIChild of
the parent form, you will always need to call childForm.MdiParent =
parentForm;

So in this case, you can do whatever after this line of code.

Well, i actually found an answer for that: When you set the from as
MdiParent, it adds a MdiClient object to that form. This object is
responsible for managing Mdi Child forms and it has events
ControlAdded/ControlRemoved which fire whenever an MdiChild is added
to/removed from parent Form.MdiChildren collection

I tried and it works just fine
