MDIForm, modals... *[RESOLVED]*

[Matias]

Well, i hope someone can help me. I need to make some MDIChild forms modals, I've reading in msdn that this is not posible. But i don't know if it is not posible at all or if it is posible somehow. I've been searching whitout sucess on this topic, but i guess mdi forms are not that popular...

And one more thing, how can i know which forms (again MDIChild forms) are open at any given point?

Well thanks to u all!!

bye, Matias.-

Why do you want to show MDIChilds modally?

[RhinoBull]

MDI child form cannot be modal. You cannot even make it to be the topmost child form ...
To know which forms are loaded use Forms collection (sample is not tested):

Dim frm as Form
 
For Each frm In Forms
    If frm.MdiChild = True
        debug.Print frm.Name
    End If
Next frm

thanks RhinoBull, i'll try that.

Why do you want to show MDIChilds modally?

Nothing special, i mean, because some forms are opened from other forms, and i need that the ones that where opened in the first place, remain open until the ones that were opened last are closed...

You could still use non-MDIChild forms in MDI environment apps then show them modally.

You know... that's actually a very good point.. i didn't see that.
