VB .Net WIN Forms

[Peter]

Hi Everyone,

I need your help with VB .Net forms.

I have an MDI Parent form and several MDI Children in my VB .Net App.

I have noticed that when I close the MDI Parent the closing event of the MDI
Children does not fire.

Tow (2) Questions:

1. Is there a way to force the closing event of the MDI Children to fire
when the MDI parent is closing.

2. Is it possible to stop the MDI Parent from closing using the Closing
event of one of the MDI Children.

Peter,

You can use in the MDI parent the MDIchildren collection.

Your second question, is more difficult to answer, because the closing of a
MDI child should not close a MDI parent. So that needs in my opinion more
explanation although preventing closing is done in the closing event from a
form and than set the e.cancel to (and in that I make forever mistakes so
try it) I thought it was True.

As a question, you say that you want help with VBNet Forms,

Any reason why you do not ask this in the newsgroup?
microsoft.publi c.dotnet.langua ges.vb

I hope however that the answer above helps you, and when you need to know
how to use it, be free to ask it here or in that VBNet newsgroup?
