Mdi application development … is this the right way ?

by navdeepz . Updated 14 years, 4 months ago

Hi,
I am making this new project for a friend. Its an ERP windows app. using C# .

Now i am using menu bar in a MDI form (main form) and every menu option opens a specific child form. the problem is i want it to look more like SDI i.e. every time i click on some other option, the currently active child form closes (not hides or minimizes). So for that i am coding my MDI form .. to always check if a child form is active .. and close it (if it is active) and then open the new child form that was asked for. Hence making it more like SDI .

Well i thinks it not really the correct way to go about it because handling 2-3 forms is fine but handling around 22 forms is kinda hard and the number of forms just seem to add up … please help !

thanks
Navdeep
