[Solved] Determining child's existence

[brown monkey]

I need help on determining wether there is or there is no child on my MDI parent. How do I know if my MDI Parent has child on it or has no child on it? Thank you.

if (YourMDIForm.MdiChildren.Count == 0)
    //there are no children forms open
else
    //there are children forms

Hello Serge,

Thanks for the reply. It gives error saying System.Array does not contain a definition for Count. Here's my code

            if(this.MdiChildren.Count>0)
                padedit.SetValue("childstate",this.ActiveMdiChild.WindowState);

Am I missing something?

[Serge]

Sorry.....MdiChildren actually returns an array, you have to check for length instead of Count, my bad (this happens when you type directly into the post)

if (YourMDIForm.MdiChildren.Length == 0)
    //there are no children forms open
else
    //there are children forms

Thank you.
