Hi all,

To be precise, I have a winform (say form A) with buttons on it, which when clicked, opens up new forms (say b, c, d).

I want to set form A as the owner and forms b,c,d as owned forms of form A.

The basic thing which I am looking to achieve is that when I close form A , I want to close all other owned forms and warn the user that some forms that belong to form A are already open and if they would like to close it?

FYI - form A is already a ChildForm of a MDI parent in my application.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi,

inside class FormA, instead of doing formB.Show() or formB.ShowDialog(), do formB.Show(this) or formB.ShowDialog(this).

thanks for your reply,

But the problem is, I want the form to be displayed within the MDI parent container.
If I use Show() or ShowDialogue() the form is displayed outside the MDI parent container.

then try something like this:

FormB formB = new FormB();
formB.MdiParent = this;
formB.Show();

Hi thanks for your reply.

Am getting this exception error when I write Ur code.

"Form that was specified to be the MdiParent for this form is not an MdiContainer.
Parameter name: value "

then fix the error. stuff the parent where it goes.

Hmmm | :|

Mate,

This is the hierarchy of my app.

MDIParent > MDIChild > buttons to open additional forms.

these forms appear in the MDI Container if I set

form.MDIParent = this.MDIParent

But my question is When I close the child form, I want to close all other open forms which are opened through button clicks?

Thats the whole issue mate. If I say

Show(this) or ShowDialog(this)

I get the error which says

"Form that is not a top-level form cannot be displayed as a modal dialog box. Remove the form from any parent form before calling showDialog."

Ohh I better ask Uncle Google instead.

Cheers

you need to set the IsMdiContainer (IIRC) property to true in the parent form.

Good Day All

I have a Method that i have defined that i will access in JavaScript(Page Method) and its defined like this

 [WebMethod, System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptMethod]
public static void Getadata(String StrSearch)
{
    View obj = new View();
    obj.Bind_SearchBox(StrSearch);

   // return Scriptt;
}

And the Bind_SearchBox() method is a non static method that is defined in this code behind of this page and View is the class name of the Page. Now i debugged this and i see the results are passed to the method and the Method is Defined like this

public void Bind_SearchBox(String Search)
    {


        ViewerService.ViewerService obj = new ViewerService.ViewerService();

        String SessionKey = obj.newSession();

        DateTime Date1 = Convert.ToDateTime("1980-01-01");
        DateTime Date2 = Convert.ToDateTime("2012-12-31");

        ViewerService.extract extract = obj.getObjects(SessionKey, Search, Date1, false, Date2, false, "", "");
        try
        {
            RadPanelBar1.Items.Clear();
            RadScheduler1.Appointments.Clear();

            int Len = extract.set.Length;
            for (int i = 0; i < Len; i++)
            {
                ViewerService.vertex value = extract.set[i];

                String PanelClass = value.meta;
                PanelClass = PanelClass.Replace(Remstr, "");
                PanelClass = PanelClass.Replace(Remstr2, "");
                Appointment app = null;
                if (value.atom != null)
                {

                    RadPanelItem pane = RadPanelBar1.Items.FindItemByText(PanelClass);
                    if (pane == null)
                    {
                        RadPanelItem nwpane = new Telerik.Web.UI.RadPanelItem(PanelClass);
                        RadPanelItem nwpaneSpliter = new Telerik.Web.UI.RadPanelItem(PanelClass);
                        nwpaneSpliter.IsSeparator = true;
                        RadPanelBar1.Items.Add(nwpane);
                        pane = nwpane;
                    }
                    if (value.meta == "za.co.abacus.C_EVENT")
                    {
                        app = new Appointment();
                    }

                    int atomLen = value.atom.Length;
                    for (int j = 0; j < atomLen; j++)
                    {
                        ViewerService.atom atm = value.atom[j];

                        if (atm.meta.Contains("za.co.reactor.A_LABEL"))
                        {
                            RadPanelItem NewItem = new RadPanelItem(atm.content);
                            pane.Items.Add(NewItem);
                            if (app != null)
                            {
                                app.Subject = atm.content;
                                app.Description = atm.content;
                                app.ID = value.key;
                            }

                        }

                        if (app != null && atm.meta.Contains("za.co.abacus.C_EVENT"))
                        {
                            app.ID = atm.content;
                        }
                        if (app != null && atm.meta.Contains("za.co.reactor.A_HORIZON"))
                        {
                            app.Start = Convert.ToDateTime(atm.content);
                        }
                        if (app != null && atm.meta.Contains("za.co.reactor.AA_HORIZON"))
                        {
                            app.End = Convert.ToDateTime(atm.content);
                        }
                        if (app != null && atm.meta.Contains("za.co.reactor.A_TEXT"))
                        {
                            app.Description = atm.content;
                        }
 
                        if (app != null && app.End > app.Start)
                        {
                            RadScheduler1.DataStartField = app.Start.ToString();
                            RadScheduler1.DataSubjectField = app.Subject.ToString();
                            RadScheduler1.DataEndField = app.ToString();
                            RadScheduler1.DataKeyField = app.ID.ToString();
                            RadScheduler1.SelectedView = SchedulerViewType.MonthView;
                            RadScheduler1.SelectedDate = app.Start;
                            RadScheduler1.Visible = true; 

                        }
                    }


                }

            }
        }
        catch (ApplicationException ex)
        {

        }
        finally
        {
            obj.closeSession(SessionKey);

        }
 

    }

Now this Function works well and it has no problems , in the debug more, i check the value that is supplied to this function from the page method function its fine. and my JS looks like this

function keyPress() {
     var tb = document.getElementById("<%=txtsearchid%>");
     if (tb.value.length == 2) {
         PageMethods.Getadata(tb.value);
         ToggleCollapsePane();

     }
     return false;
 }

and the Toggle function

function ToggleCollapsePane() {

        var splitter = $find("RadSplitter1");

        var pane = splitter.getPaneById("LeftPane");

        if (!pane) return;

        if (pane.get_collapsed()) {
            pane.expand();
        }
        else {
            pane.collapse();

        }
    }

so the Getadata() Function will call the Bind_SearchBox() Function and pass the Parameter and the function Bind_SearchBox() will do the Job as you can see at the end it sets some control to visible. But this does not bring me back results(The RadScheduler1 is not binded with data and RadPanelBar1 does not show anything)

I had a search button that is that was calling the same method and passing the same parameters but it could show results and it looked like this

protected void btnSearch_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

    RadToolBarItem textItem = RadToolBar1.FindItemByText("Button1");

    TextBox txtseach = (TextBox)textItem.FindControl("txtsearch");

    if (txtseach.Text != "")
    {
        Bind_SearchBox(txtseach.Text.Trim());

    }

}

In FireFox i get this Error when i debug it

<br />
Microsoft JScript runtime error: Sys.Net.WebServiceFailedException: The server method 'Getadata' failed with the following error: System.NullReferenceException-- Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

If i click this above button it will show results. The txtseach have the same text and it calls the same method but when i call this function and inject parameters from page method it does not work.

I am Surprised.

Thanks

First of all this is the question for ASP.NET forum.
Second: it's no surprise that it doesn't work really. What you're trying to do must be accomplished with a postback. You can call your Bind_SearchBox from JavaScript, but Bind_SearchBox will have no way to return its results to the browser. Solution for your problem is to execute postback instead of calling pagemethod. I don't remember parameters exactly, but you have to supply it with id of control, that triggers postback (in your problem this would be a search button). Or maybe you should reconsider your solution and trigger the Bind_SearchBox from additional postback.
I hope, that what I written is more less clear. If not, please ask Smile | :)

Good Day

I have updated the Post.at the bottom there is an Error that comes back if i debug with Firefox

Microsoft JScript runtime error: Sys.Net.WebServiceFailedException: The server method 'Getadata' failed with the following error: System.NullReferenceException-- Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

And did you debug the Bind_SearchBox method when you call it from your javascript? Exception must come from somewhere.

Yes i have debugged it and i realized that when i enter the Function , when it goes to this two lines

RadPanelBar1.Items.Clear();
RadScheduler1.Appointments.Clear();

and this one

RadPanelItem pane = RadPanelBar1.Items.FindItemByText(PanelClass);

it goes to the finally block and exit the loop. in IE the debug gives me nothing but in Firefox after the Finally then i get the error i sent you.

The reason exception is thrown is that the View you create doesn't go the regular page lifecycle (I assume the View is your ascx/aspx). Youd didn't call Init, Load or DataBind or whatever event you're filling your controls with data in.
As I said. Try redesign your solution, so it uses postback. Tell me, why you're using javascript and maybe I'll be able to give you a hint.
