Not clear. And not even a question, despite the question mark. "I want..." is not a question, and even what you want is not clear.

It would greatly help if you would post the current code you have.

it is not by coding it is just to change from the properties to set the main page as parent and the other form as child the problem is i have vedio and i can not do this thing

dr.dream 1-Apr-12 16:47pm

carcontrolpanel.MdiParent = Me
carcontrolpanel.Show()

Without detailed info about the code and the solution, sounds like you create a new instance of the main form.

Instead, if you want to replace the currently playing video on the same form, set the player in current form to show the video of your selection.

Based on your code it seems that the carcontrolpanel is a form. So you create a new for and show it inside a MDI parent. In this scenario you're supposed to get a new window since MDI parent can host several MDI children.

If you want to use just a single window, do not use MDI.

yes it must be single window
mainpage (parent)
carcontrolpanel(chid)
i have the result when i delete the video from the mainpage.when i put the video the child will appear on the back of the video so how to fix this problem?

Solution 2

Though question is not very clear but I believe this is what you are looking for:

VB

childform.MdiParent = MDIformName

childform.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized

childform.Show()

hope it helps...
