object property - urgent!

[wildcat_2000]

Hi all,

could you please someone help me out here, this IS simple, just an object definition that I cannot find.

I've got an MDI form, in which a button creates new forms with this code:

Dim frmA As Main
Set FrmA As New Main
FrmA.Show

Main is the name of a template form that I use to create all the forms within the MDI.

Now, how can I retrieve the Height property of one of these child forms? I need the object name, i.e. if I need the height of Main I use Main.Height, but in this case what can I use? FrmA.Height within a code doesn't work. I believe something as Parent.Height should exist, if someone knows the right expression

Thank you very much in advance,

W.

Hey Just got in... and saw this.. could be wrong but i'll try..

1. when u create the child form, find a way to uniquely identify it something like setting its caption or something
else like frma.caption actually use frma.tag = "may be name of the form here"

2. then to get the object

dim objfrm as form

for each objform in forms
if objform.tag = "whattever u had there" then
exit for
end if

'at this point u would have the object and u can do

objfrm.height
