VB Syntax, A different type of MDI Application

A different type of MDI Application

Author	Message
Steven Lewandowsk #1 / 3	A different type of MDI Application I am developing an MDI Application with a little twist. All them MDI Children are actual standard forms in ole servers and are placed on the MDI Form using the SetParent API call. Question: Is it an advisable approach to use the SetParent api in this fashion ? All my ole servers have a circular reference back to the main app, is there any know problems with circular references?

Douglas Marquard #2 / 3	A different type of MDI Application Hi Steven: Question: Is it an advisable approach to use the SetParent api in this fashion ? << I am no expert on this... but I do believe you should not use setparent with forms, only controls. What you can use is SetWindowLong, i.e. SetWindowLong frmChild.hWnd, GWL_HWNDPARENT, frmMain.hWnd Hope this helps, Doug.

I've done this with few if any problems. You should however "reverse" the operation before closing the app. Trond Solberg Systems Consultant Mandatum as ---- http://www.mandatum.no
