Gaurav Jadhav 12-Mar-13 1:29am

there is no error bt enable to access the toolstripmenu items of mdi from login form

Aarti Meswania 12-Mar-13 1:32am

ok then
simply create a public method in MDI form
public EnableDisableMenu()
{
toolstrip1.enabled=true;
toolstrip2.enabled=false;
}

now, when login button clicked... call that function
MDI objMDI = new MDI();
objMDI.EnableDisableMenu(); // Call Function
objMDI.show();

Gaurav Jadhav 12-Mar-13 1:41am

still not working....
there is no error bt not showing any changes..

Aarti Meswania 12-Mar-13 1:42am

have you create method in MDI?
and call it from login form?

Gaurav Jadhav 12-Mar-13 1:47am

yes... i create method in mdi and call it in login form...
code showing no error bt no output at all..
the menus are only disabled... never get enabled...

Aarti Meswania 12-Mar-13 1:50am

okay I got it

this is because you have open a MDI object but applying method in another object so, make sure the object is same

Gaurav Jadhav 12-Mar-13 2:14am
