MDI Forms

Expand Post »

Hi Everyone,
This is probably simple but I don't know how. Can someone show me a code the test if the child form is currently active or currently the one open in front of my screen.
Thanks in advance.

Re: MDI Forms

Sure.

Create a new project, add an MDI form and 2 or more MDI Child forms.

in the MDI Form code window paste:

Visual Basic 4 / 5 / 6 Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
 Private Sub MDIForm_Click()
MsgBox Me.ActiveForm.Caption
End Sub
 Private Sub MDIForm_Click()
MsgBox Me.ActiveForm.Caption
End Sub

Click on the MDI form to see which child form is currently active. The .ActiveForm property gives you complete access to the current active MDI Child. For example: .hide .show .caption .width .height etc...
