    QuickBooks Interface

    I have a request from my client to develop a new application in VB2005. It
    should use MDI design. The client wants it to look similar to Intuit
    QuickBooks - Outlook like bar on the left side, child windows should appear
    inside of MDI. Splitter allowing to change the width of the bar should be
    there.
    I tried to use Splitter control as well as SplitContainer Control.
    I have Klik Resizer Control which works fine with resizing, but I cannot
    make it work with child window when the Splitter is moved. I also coudn't
    find any way to place a child window when I use SplitContainer - there is no
    empty space in MDI and child just doesn't appear.
    Any advice how to create QuickBooks interface.

    Thank you

    Do a search on CodeProject for "Outlook Toolbar". If that doesn't work,
    check Google. I've seen code out there to replicate the Outlook look.

      Re: QuickBooks Interface

      Thank you,
      I know how to create Outlook like interface. Outlook like design uses
      SplitContainer and on the right side there is a Panel(s). I do not know how
      to place child form on the Panel.
      So far I came to the idea to use Custom controls containing everything I
      planned to place on the child form. I'm not sure this is a good idea,
      because I'm going to have many child forms (Custom Controls) in
      myapplication.

        If I understand you correctly, you want to dock your child windows
        inside the panels in the split container. I don't know if this would
        work with MDI children, but regular windows can be easily placed
        inside the panels:

        <aircode>
        Private Sub Form_Load(...) Handles MyBase.Load
        Dim C1 As New ChildForm

        'the order of these two statements
        '*is* significant
        C1.TopLevel = False
        C1.Parent = SplitContainer2 .Panel1

        C1.Dock = DockStyle.Fill
        C1.Visible = True

        Dim C2 As New ChildForm
        C2.TopLevel = False
        C2.Parent = SplitContainer2 .Panel2
        C2.Dock = DockStyle.Fill
        C2.Visible = True
        End Sub
        </aircode>

        Just remember to remove the caption of your child windows first =)))

        HTH.

        Regards,

        Branco.

          Thank you very much Branco.
          I moved 1 step forward.
          Now I have a problem with accessing the child form via code.
          Although I set its Dock = Fill when I move Splitter, the child doesn't fill
          the Panel.
          If I set its Dock again (under button click for instance) it fills again.
          I tried to put that resetting under SplitterMoved event
          Try

          Me.ActiveMdiChi ld.Dock = DockStyle.Fill

          Catch ex As Exception

          It's not working because ActiveMDIChild is nothing. How do I reference the
          child form?

            I don't see this happening here, even with MDI children... The windows
            fill automatically. Oh, they won't if you set their windowstate to

              Thanks a lot Branco. Yes, I set it to be Maximized before.
              Now everything works great. At least that stuff I already tried.
              You saved a lot of my time.

                Next question:
                How to remove (close) the form I loaded into Panel?
                What is the equivalent to
                For Each frm in Forms...
                used in VB6?

                Any other enumeration approaches in VB 2005?

                  from Infragistics they have an mdi docking component that works realy
                  well and it saved me a ton of time..

                    Thank you
                    I have currently Infragistics subscription. But I never worked with MDI
                    Docking Component.
                    I'll try

                    Another question:
                    I'm trying to enumerate open forms in order to close those I need anymore.
                    In the project I'm working on it highlights My.Application. OpenForms. In an
                    absolutely new testing project there is no problem with that collection.
                    What is wrong with my project?

                      Re: QuickBooks Interface

                      Are you trying to close the children? Or all the forms? The children will
                      close when you close the parent. Looping through My.Application. OpenForms
                      *should* work. although you might not want to close the form that invokes
                      it until it's done.

                      Robin S.

                        Re: QuickBooks Interface

                        By some reason I couldn't make My.Application. OpenForms work.
                        I created a new project, using cut/paste imported everything from my
                        existing project. In a new project OpenForms works and I can close either
                        all loaded forms or just those I want, by looping through OpenForms
                        collection

                        Are you trying to close the children? Or all the forms? The children will
                        close when you close the parent. Looping through My.Application. OpenForms
                        *should* work. although you might not want to close the form that invokes
                        it until it's done.

                          Well, that's just weird. If you want to pursue it, what do you mean when
                          you say you couldn't make it work in the old project? Did it find no forms,
                          or did it give you an error message? You cut/pasted everything into a new
                          product?
