How to call a method on an MDI window?
February 05, 2009 10:17AM
I need to call a method in an MDI window so that it re-calculates some data. I can't figure out how I can call this from another form.

Help!

Thanks

Jonathan,
I do this by sending a message to ALL open mdi-windows (see MDIEnumChild()).
In each Mdi-window, which needs this notification, the message is trapped by the use of Event("aProc","*.",MY_USER_MESSAGE).
In other Mdi-window the message is just lost.

Thanks Arie... All working.

I also used Handle() to pass the MDI windows handle into the other window so that it could send the message directly.
