    Resolved [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 :-)
    Well, everyone else has been doing it :-)

    I love helping noobs with their VB problems (probably because, as an amateur programmer, I am only slightly better at VB than them :-)) but if you SERIOUSLY want to get help for free from a community such as VBForums, you have to first have a grounding (basic knowledge) in VB6, otherwise you're way too much work to help...You've got to give a little if you want to get help from us, in other words!

    And we DON'T do your homework. If your tutor doesn't teach you enough to help you make the project without his or her help, FIND A BETTER TUTOR or try reading books on programming! We are happy to help with minor things regarding the project, but you have to understand the rest of it if you want our help to be useful.

    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 :-)
