Closing A UnKnown Form

[PITBULLCJR]

I have a MDi form and when you click new on the menu it makes a new form1. When I click close I want it to close only the form1 that has focus. Is this even possible because I have tried many different ways of declaring variables and nothing is working. Thanks!!

This will close the ActiveForm.

Private Sub Command1_Click
    Unload MDIForm1.ActiveForm
End Sub

Don't try that in VB6!

I did that before and I got 3 errors!

Here's a great way:

Set MDIForm.Activeform = Nothing

That doesn't unload a Form. The method I provided does.

hey thanks the Unload me.activeform works thanks a lot!!!

Well, Megatron, I don't know. My VB must be in a buggy mode. I've got SP4 now and I'll try that...or I'll use C++.

Escaflowne, in order to unload a form, you must use Unload MDIForm1.ActiveForm. But Set MDIForm.Activeform = Nothing can be used as well to clear up any resources that were being used, but not just by itself.

Private Sub Command1_Click()

    Unload MDIForm1.ActiveForm
    Set MDIForm.Activeform = Nothing

End Sub

What error message do you get?
