Edit control in child window

[Ziad Diab Electronics]

Hello ...

How can the user write in the Edit Control (Text Field) in a child window ?
It is like the child window is disabled ...

Code Select Expand

Thank you

This is from the help file.

MDI windows

Multiple Document Interface, or MDI, windows consist of a parent frame window and one or more child windows. Most word processors use the MDI interface as well as Creative BASIC’s editor. To create a MDI interface first open a window with @MDIFRAME as one of the creations flags:

WINDOW frame,0,0,640,400,@MDIFRAME|@SIZE,0,”Main”,main

Any child windows would use that window as the parent parameter:

WINDOW w,0,0,200,100,@SIZE|@MINBOX|@MAXBOX,frame,”Child”,main

The help file is usually your friend.

Later,
Clint
