Hi friends!
This is my problem:
I'm working with 3 forms -

1. MDIparent
2. Child1
3. Child2

I can open Child1 and Child2 from MDIparent but cannot open Child2 from Child1 or Child1 from Child2.
What do I do? This is my set of codes on Child1.

Child2 cd2 = new Child2 { MdiParent = MDIparent, Visible = true };

Thank you.

Solution 1

Try this, say to open child2 from child1, in child1:

VB

child2 = new child2();
child2.MdiParent = this.MdiParent;
child2.Show();

However, you may want to read this: MDI vs SDI[^]
