MDI

I have a search screen that calls a MDI Parent form that has several MDI
Child form options. Since more than one search can be clicked on and
therefore more than one MDI Parent form can be open at one time, I need to
keep all variables within each MDI Parent/Child session distict. What is
the best way to declare and keep track of each MDI session variables.

Thanks again,

Richard

Richard,

One way is to use a public variable on the MDI form.

For example, on a MDI form that I have named mdiSchoolManager:

     Public myProperty As String = "Hello"

Obviously, myProperty can be accessed from the MDI form. It can also be
accessed from child forms, like this.

In a button's click event on a child form:

        Dim frm As mdiSchoolManager

        frm = Me.MdiParent

        MsgBox(frm.myProperty)

        frm.myProperty = "Goodbye"

        MsgBox(frm.myProperty)
