Using MDI Tabs with Groups (ActiveX in VB6) I find it useful to sometimes set a childForm.Enabled = False. This lets user view the form but they cannot edit it or give it focus. However, because of the way CommandBars works, you can get get into situation where the not-enabled Form is on top, and it is impossible to select any other Form. Secondly, because CommandBars seems to store the current Tab for each Group, it can be difficult for user to switch to different Group (ie. clicking on the current Tab is ignored by CommandBars, even if it is in a different Group). I found that adding the following code in the Workspace_BeforeItemClick event solves both of the above problems, and does not appear to have any side-effects. Dim X as Long For X = 1 to Forms.Count - 1 'ignore Forms(0) the MIDForm If Forms(X).hwnd = Item.Handle then Forms(X).ZOrder 0 'Force this Form (and hence this Tab) to be selected End If Next ------------- Chris (Manchester, UK) -- www.abc6.co.uk ---- Using CodeJock ActiveX Suite 13.1.0 with Windows8, VB6 SP6 |
