Hi,
i have a big trouble about backgrounds while using MDI forms and a commandbar together in VB.NET 2005. i can not show commandbar without code above :

(
        Dim ctrl As Control
        For Each ctrl In Controls
            If (ctrl.GetType Is GetType(System.Windows.Forms.MdiClient)) Then
                AxCommandBars1.SetMDIClient(ctrl.Handle.ToInt32)
            End If
        Next
)

i use this code to show the commandbar, but this code prevents to show the form background image. So when i use commandbar, i cant show the background image in the Parent MDI Form.
does anyone help me?

Thanks.

I too would like to know how to set a background picture on an MDI form. I am using VB6 though.

Thanks,

yeah that works a little. but still there is a problem. i can not change anything by designer (forex: backgroundcolor of mdiparentform) if i once used commandbar even i m using with or without disabling themedbackcolor property..
