[RESOLVED] Textbox Behavioral bug with MDI(child) Forms.

[DavesChillaxin]

Ugh I know my friend hates this, but I solved my own problem before someone could help or come up with their own solution..

So the solution? Well I always say "When all else fails, API it!" This is another case I had to resort to that.. I found when setting the forms TopLevel = False was there when the bug arose. So I had to avoid having to change that value while still being able to add the form to a parenting form. The answer: SetParent api.

Here's a quick snippit code that demonstrates:

Public Class Form1
 
    Friend Declare Function SetParent Lib "user32" (ByVal hWndChild As IntPtr, ByVal hWndNewParent As IntPtr) As Integer 
 
    Private Sub Form1_Load( ByVal sender As System.Object,  ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Dim nForm As New Windows.Forms.Form()
        Dim nTextBox As New Windows.Forms.TextBox()
 
        nTextBox.Location = New Point(0, 0)
        nTextBox.Size = New Size(158, 20)
        nTextBox.Text = "Sample text"
 
        SetParent(nForm.Handle, Me.Handle)
        nForm.Show()
    End Sub
 
End Class

The result is a form within the parent from, whom contains normal funtioning textbox controls
