If you are talking about just getting the currently active WinForm in a non-mdi application it would be System.Windows.Forms.Form.ActiveForm If you wish to know which control it would be AciveForm.ActiveControl For a MDI it would be System.Windows.Forms.ActiveMDIChild If you are referring to any windows external to your application, I believe you will need to use the Win API.

Johnson 2-Jun-02 12:23  As Nish said, and you feared; you have to resort to the Win32 API. This is because you can't create a Control object (the base class for Form) from an arbitrary HWND, only for one which a Control object already exists. Perhaps in V.NEXT we'll have such support for a limited window class James Simplicity Rules! Re: Focus Mazdak2-Jun-02 19:19 Mazdak 2-Jun-02 19:19  Thank you James.

Is it as simple as right clicking in the explorer and adding another windows form? If so how do I get my program to display it? Thanks in advance, Paddy.

It only requires adding another WinForm to your project. In the code you (assuming the name of the new WinForm class is 'Form2') simply something like: Form2 dlg = new Form2(); dlg.ShowDialog(); when you want to display the form. If can also use "dlg.Show()" if you wish a modeless window. Rocky Moore Re: Multiple forms Paddy2-Jun-02 1:30 Paddy 2-Jun-02 1:30  Thanks for the help that solves that problem for me. One more question, whats the difference between a windows form and an inherited windows form? Thanks, Paddy. Re: Multiple forms Rocky Moore2-Jun-02 9:31 Rocky Moore 2-Jun-02 9:31  Paddy wrote: One more question, whats the difference between a windows form and an inherited windows form? An inherited Winform is a cool little beast that allows you to inherit the WinForm from a WinForm that you create in another library (DLL) or you own project (if you compiler before you inherit). You can define one form as your base form with controls, then you inherit that form. It will build a form that looks just like the base form. You can add items to the form, you just cannot modify any of the items on the base form. But you can, at any time, modify the base form and those modifications will bubble up to all inherited forms.. Cool! This is good for a Wizard type window where you have a certian layout. Another use is to simulate a skinning window by creating the base winform with different graphics or colors then dropping in the any of the modified base class DLLs thus changing the appearance of all inherited WinForms that inherit from that base WinForm. There are many uses Inherited Forms!

In other words, I want to attach the MS Word window to my WinForm object. Is there a way to treat a Word document like a .NET control? Thanks!

Setting the left and/or right margins of edit controls 1-Jun-02 4:59 1-Jun-02 4:59  Hi Does anyone know how to set margins on edit controls (textbox, combobox, etc) in C# by using managed code? I used to do it by sending EM_SETMARGINS message in VB6, but I was wondering if there was a way natively supported by .NET.

Drop a treeview on the form, add a MouseUp event handler for the TreeView. Add Console.WriteLine("MouseUp Fired"); Start the application, press and hold Left mouse button inside of the treeview, note the MouseUp event is fired even though the mouse button hasn't been released? Work arounds anybody?

Normskyyyy We both have been such fools. We were both trying it on an empty treeview. Add some nodes. If you click on a node, the mouse down event is fired. And when you release the mouse, the mouse up event is fired. But even on a tree view with nodes, if you click on a non-node area then the earlier behaviour occurs where the mouse-down event is immediately followed by the mouse-up event. Maybe what they do is to see if we have clicked on a node. If not they also send a mouse-up message regards Nish Regards, Nish Native CPian. Born and brought up on CP. With the CP blood in him. Re: Gosh!!!!!! 31-May-02 20:22 31-May-02 20:22  Nish this behaviour is not the same when using the raw API to crack WM / NM /LVM type messages. Surely the behaviour should be the same as in .NET as it is in MFC/C/C++. Keep getting signed out from hotmail Sizing/positioning child forms within a parent form... Andrew Connell31-May-02 1:34 Andrew Connell 31-May-02 1:34  I've been playing around with the dynamic sizing, positioning, and MDI settings, but still can't achieve my goal and I'm sure someone else out there has done this... Here's my scenario: I have a frmMainContainer that acts as the primary controller for my application. It consists of a header 200px tall and 100% of the width of the form (used for control & branding) and the remainder of the area below is where my other forms will appear (I'll call it MultiUseArea for this conversation). I have a few other forms (frmChild1, frmChild2, frmChild3)... these will be loaded from the frmMainContainer form... they also will not have the min/max/close/titlebar/border features of a typical form. Now, what I want to do is click basically click a button in frmMainContainer that will load one of the child forms into the MultiUseArea... here's the trick... I want to size the child form to take up 100% of the MultiUseArea. Here's what I'm struggling with: when I load the application frmMainContainer, there are no scrollbars. When I load one of the child forms, scroll bars pop up in frmMainContainer although it looks like if the scroll bars weren't present, it would fit perfectly. I've tried dynamically sizing the children using the ClientRectangle property of the frmMainContainer, I've tried disabling the AutoScroll, and making the child forms MDI children of the frmMainContainer among other things... I just can't figure it out. Any ideas? ---- Just in case I'm confusing anyone in my description... I'm thinking something like Quicken interface or the one shown here: http://www.bcentral.com/image/ss_sbm1_640.gif In my desired solution, the "invoice entry" form would not have the title bar or control boxes (min/max/close).

Nick Parker31-May-02 8:03 Nick Parker 31-May-02 8:03  I could be wrong, but it looks as if you are trying to access system information about the computer, you just want to do this in C#, am I right? If so there is an article on the WMI (Windows Management Interface) that will show you how to do this. I know this isn't the exact answer to your question, but it should hopefully help.
