[RESOLVED] MDI howto, anyone?

I am assuming that's what I would require to be able to run an EXE within a form, which is what I will be requiring for my "pet project" :-)

Does anyone know of a good website or something that has a *good* tutorial on how exactly to do MDI and how to manage the child processes and such?

Also, if the *parent* has a function, can the child call it or would it have to go through DLLs? If I can call without putting the functions in DLLs that could be a useful way to do some of the things I have planned :-)

I must confess, I haven't understood your requirement.
Do you mean something like this ?

That looks about right for loading an external exe into a form as MDI child, yeah...any idea on where I should go to learn MDI before I use this though? :-)

I suppose you couldn't do worse than http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...plications.asp. (yes, I know you said GOOD ;) ) It looks reasonably comprehensive. There's an app and source "MDINote" which should be on vb's installation disc too.

Thanks, that looks like what I need...I'll do my best to ignore the crap and just stick to the truth there though :-)

Rated and resolved :-)
