MDI Loading multiple children

Hello,

I'm having a weird problem with an MDI form and it's children.I have a main
MDIForm and two children. On the main form there are is an Explorer control
(www.vbaccelerator.com) to switch between the forms. On startup, form1 is
loaded. Then i click the item to load form2, wich goes fine. When form2 is
loaded, it first hides form1 and then shows form2. Then when i want to
switch back to form1, form2 is hidden and form1 is showed again. However,
form1 isn't showed! When i look at the debug, after the Form1.show command:
nothing happens. Can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong?

Thnx in advance,

Marvin

Are you sure you need MDI forms for this app?

Yes, because there are about 30 forms to come :-).

The number of forms in an application has absolutely no bearing on whether
it should be MDI vs. SDI.

You are right, but the choice between SDI or MDI is not the question
here.....

What does the number of forms have to do with MDI or not MDI? Nothing as far
as I know. MDI is for the specific situation where you need forms that are
exactly identical except for the data they contain.

I think it is. Your problem I believe stems from using MDI instead of SDI.

I think he means "the decision has been made and will not be changed,
therefore I want an answer as to how to deal with the limitations of the
framework that has been selected." In other words, "please tell me how big a
hammer we need because we're not going to change the square peg to a round
one."
