Hi John,
Thank you for posting.
Let me give the straightforward answer first:
You can use System.Windows.Forms.Application.OpenForms to get the same
result.
VB.NET Code sample:
For Each f As Form In System.Windows.Forms.Application.OpenForms
MessageBox.Show(f.Text)
Next
Now let me explain a little bit more. Actually all the
My.Application.OpenForms property does is simply return the result from
System.Windows.Forms.Application.OpenForms.
When we enable the Application Framework for a VB.NET WinForm project, we
can access My.Application object, which is inherited from
WindowsFormsApplicationBase class located in
Microsoft.VisualBasic.ApplicationServices namespace (Assembly
Microsoft.VisualBasic.DLL). If you can find this assembly file and open it
using .NET Reflector or ILDasm, get to the source of
WindowsFormsApplicationBase.OpenForms property, you'll see a simple line of
code like this (which explains what I wrote in code):
Public ReadOnly Property OpenForms As FormCollection
Get
Return System.Windows.Forms.Application.OpenForms
End Get
End Property
So you can use System.Windows.Forms.Application's OpenForms property no
matter the Application Framework is enabled or not.
Please kindly let me know if I answered your question clearly, and if you
