Hi all,

Wonder if anyone can shed any light on this scenario.

I have an MDI form, Form1, that opens a child window Form2.. - simple
enough. However, from Form2, I would like to open a form Form3 (is a 'search
and select' type form) and have it modal to form2 AND be an MDI child...
i.e. the user cannot get back to Form2 without doing whatever they have to
do in Form3, but at the same time can go and do something else in Form1 -
e.g. open another form.!!..

I'm sure this has been explained in the past - if anyone can help it would
be appreciated.

Thanks,
Graham

Click to expand...

That's not supported by Windows' MDI forms. Do not display the form as
MDI child, that's the preferred "solution".
 
Good enough for me - if that is the normal approach - I'm all for sticking
with it.

Thanks,
Graham
