MDI Child Close ?

[other3]

The following code was done in VB.NET 2003. I have a MDI application that I can open any number of dialog type boxes
and this will close the one that is in the foreground no
matter what type of form it is. This only requires a menu
on the parent form.

Private Sub fileClose_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
Handles fileClose.Click
If (Not Me.ActiveMdiChild Is Nothing) Then

Me.ActiveMdiChild.Close()

End If
End Sub

I want to do the same type of thing in VB 6.0, I've tried
traping the Form_Activate, Form_Deactivate events but that
does not seem to be leading me in the right direction. Any
help would be greatly appreciated.

When you say "dialog type boxes" you actually mean "MDI Child Forms", I take it.

I will assume at this point that you know how to set up an MDI parent form and child forms in VB6. (If you don't, post back.) Just use the ActiveForm property in the MDI parent.

Unload Me.ActiveForm

Now, you can't put a command button on an MDI parent in VB6, so you'll have to invent something else, like a menu selection.

Thank you so very much.

That does the trick.
