mdi

I am working on a windows application form in visual studio 2012 where I am stuck in the UI design part. Actually, I am trying to open the child form in front of all the control objects (panel, table layout panel). This the parent form When I open a child form all the objects of parent form go back Here is the code inside my mdi parent form frmControlAccount x; private void controlToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { if (x == null || x.IsDisposed)//to avoid multiple opening of forms { x = new frmControlAccount(); x.MdiParent = this; x.Show(); } else { x.Focus(); x.BringToFront

I menu strip in my software and when users click on about I want to open the another child window but I want to make the the parent window disabled which means only by closing or clicking kk make it available again. My current code opens the form but does not make the parent disable if (about == null) { about = new aboutForm(); about.ShowDialog(this); } I tried about.ShowDialog(); it's throws a error I appreciate any answers possible code solutions Condition is not required because ShowDialog(this) would show modal dialog. aboutForm about = new aboutForm(); about.ShowDialog(this); In aboutForm

This question is related to my previous one. I have an MFC (VC6) MDI Application which has several MDI child windows acting as different views for one document. Is it possible to set one of those frames to stay on top of the others? I have tried to call SetWindowPos( &GetParentFrame()->wndTopMost, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOMOVE | SWP_NOSIZE); and ModifyStyleEx(0, WS_EX_TOPMOST); from the CMDIChildWnd but neither appears to work. In your CMDIChildWnd class (usually CChildFrame), add a static HWND m_hTopWnd . Set it equal to the HWND of the child you want to be always on top. Handle WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGED

Users complain that when they have several minimized windows in MDI container it's impossible to distinguish them unless they resore each. I wonder if it's possible to make minimized window a little bit wider so the text in the caption can contain 6 characters? Thanks in advance! No, this is not possible. Windows determines the width of a minimized window using the current system parameters, and there's no way to change this dynamically for a single application without changing the values across the entire system. Specifically, the default size of all minimized windows is 160x31. In a MDI

In C# i want to create a panel that has the properties of a MDI container ie. isMdiContainer = true. I tried something like this form.MDIParent = this.panel1; But that dont work. Any suggestions? You could create custom form, remove all borders, and toolbars to make it look as closely to a panel as possible. Then make that new custom form a MdiContainer. Basically, you can only set the IsMDIContainer property on a Form. This means that only a form can be a MdiContainer. It is possible to create an MDI-panel and show forms in that panel, something like the code below will do the job Mdi-Panel

HI all, I have this code in which the window property of making child window load at the center of mdiparent. Form2 f = new Form2(); f.MdiParent = this; //center screen is working. //f.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.CenterScreen; f.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.CenterParent; but instead of making the child window pop at the center it loads at the left side. Can anyone help me on this. Please refer the screenshot below. I have even tried doing the same in vb. Even there i get the same error. I think the property of FormStartPosition.CenterParent is dummy. alt text http://img13.imageshack
