MDI problem

Question

Can anyone help me with the following problem? I want to set MdiParent to something else than Me. I’m opening a new window from one of the children and I don’t want Me (the child) to be the parent but the child’s parent. I have tried to create a new object on the parent form and assign it as MdiParent but then it won’t show. I would be grateful if anyone could help me.

Seems like I’m answering to my own questions here. But I found out this one to .MdiParent = Me.MdiParent does the trick

Ok! I’ll try. I’ve got an MDI application. When I create my child windows from my mdi container (frmMain) there is no problem with the MdiParent. I just set it to Me. As following. visa_alla.MdiParent = Me sok_forfattare.MdiParent = Me lagg_in_ny.MdiParent = Me But if I want to open an instance of lagg_in_ny from sok_forfattare I can’t set MdiParent = Me because then it will be sok_forfattare and I want the MdiParent to be frmMain. If I do a new frmMain as Dim frmm As New frmMain And set MdiParent to frmm it wont show. I hope I can get some help here. Its probably not so complicated but I cant get any examples of it anywhere. Thanx!
