Existential question!When I use: Dim X0 As Integer = ActiveForm.Location.X Dim Y0 As Integer = ActiveForm.Location.Y Dim strTest As String = ActiveForm.Name Dim SIX0 = X0 + 560 Dim SIY0 = Y0 - 30 The strTest variable contains the name of the container form (the MDIParent). However, when I do this: Dim X0 As Integer = Me.Location.X Dim Y0 As Integer = Me.Location.Y Dim strTest As String = Me.Name Dim SIX0 = X0 + 560 Dim SIY0 = Y0 - 30 I get the name of the form within the container (called FormMain). More important the locations seem to be all messed up. When I use Me.Location, the 0,0 point is not the topleft of the form, I have to use the negative value to try to position some test at the top. Any advice? Thanx, I forgot to add, my FormMain (dimmed as frmMain) refuses to fill up the
Container i.e. the MDIParent until I switch to another form and then come back. In the Container form I do have: Private Sub FormContainer_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load frmMain.MdiParent = Me frmSliceInfo.MdiParent = Me frmSliceInfo.Dock = DockStyle.Fill frmMain.Dock = DockStyle.Fill frmMain.Show() End Sub and I have also set the Dock property in the properties window of all the forms to "None".

I was quick starting, if it is a MDI, you can always find the parent in the MDI parent property from a child and the childs in the MDIchildren collection (just looping). http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.form.mdichildren.aspx Cor Show quoteHide quote "Anil Gupte" <anil-l***@icinema.com> schreef in bericht news:OHFYyke%23GHA.4544@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... >I forgot to add, my FormMain (dimmed as frmMain) refuses to fill up the >Container i.e. the MDIParent until I switch to another form and then come >back.

First of all why does it
(fmrMain) not fill up the container form? The other form (frmSliceInfo) does, and all the parameters are the same. Also, why is Me not the same as ActiveForm?

ActiveForm is the activeform of the project. So to see the difference: 'code in frmSliceInfo, which is active frmMain.mySub 'calls a routine in frmMain 'code in frmMain: Public Sub mySub() 'When called from above 'Me is frmMain 'ActiveForm is frmSliceInfo 'When called when frmMain is active 'Me is still frmMain 'ActiveForm is now also frmMain End Sub Anil Gupte wrote: Show quoteHide quote > I am sorry, I did not understand your response.

Me is the same as in the C languages "this". It means all the variables (objects values) that are in the object from the class itself. me.textBox1 is the same as textbox1. It is easy however if you don't remember a name to type first me. It is also easy to tell to another object which object is the sender, The problem is that you are not telling what kind of form you are using, it can by instance be a MDI, a showdialog or something used as a usercontrol inside your control container.
