.NET Forum / .NET Framework / Interop / October 2005Calling a .Net form in vb6 MDI Application
Hey Everyone In my current project, which is invloving making enhancements to an old VB6 application, I need to do following things: 1. Call a .Net WinForm (present in a .net dll) from a VB6 MDI application 2. The called WinForm should behave like a child form of the main MDI form in the VB6 application 3. Called WinForm should unload if the MDI application unloads (or ends) 1 and 3 are fairly striaghforward and I am able to do that, but I am not able to figure out a way to #2. I would greatly appreciated if someone can advice me on a way make the WinForm child of the VB6 MDI Form, or point me to some resources covering this specific topic in vb <-> .net interop. Thanks in advance Best regards, Spark Hi everyone, After some more research on the net, I could display the .net form as child of the VB6 MDI form using some winapi functions like SetParent(). After calling SetParent() the .Net form appears within the MDI form, but the forms Tab Keys and Arrow Keys do not work. That is, I am able to type values in to the textbox but cant move to the next textbox using the Tab key Does anybody know about a work around for this? Any help will be great appreciated ... thanks in advance. Best regards, Spark Hi Again, I had post the same query on the vb.winapi forum and looks like SetParent() is not a way to go. Besides that it looks like converting a normal VB6 Form to MDI child at runtime in VB6 itself needs a lot of workarounds. Guys, feel free to advice further, and refer to this thread for more details ... http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.vb.winapi/browse_frm/thread/712a 4197f0ae9529/768eb8296d4763c8#768eb8296d4763c8 Best Regards Spark Free MagazinesGet these publications absolutely FREE for up to 12 months.
