Call MDI form procedure in Toolbar

[LC Chan]

Hi All, I created a Toolbar in the Main form and it has some buttons like Add,Change,Delete. Let's say there are 2 child forms A & B. In each form, a public procedure - add_record() - is created. Now, I'd like to call the child form - add_record() in the button.click() event. But it seems the compiler didn't accept it. Here's the code in tool bar click event.

Protected Sub toolBar_Click(ByVal sender As Object,
ByVal e As oolBarButtonClickEventArgs)

Select Case tblMain.Buttons.IndexOf(e.Button)
Case 1
    Call Me.ActiveMdiChild.add\_recod()    /\* build error occur \*/
End Select

End Sub

I think i'm using a wrong approach with Toolbar. Would anyone give me some advice. Many thanks, Wilfred:)

Me.ActiveMdiChild returns an instance of type Form. You're getting the error because Form doesn't contain a method called add_Record. You need to cast the return value of Me.ActiveMdiChild to the type of the child form the contains that method.

CType(Me.ActiveMdiChild, MyMdiChild).add_Record()

Charlie if(!curlies){ return; }

I need to know the name of the object. did you manually type the procedure below because it lacks the handles toolbar1.click assuming the name of the toolbar is toolbar1. Protected Sub toolBar_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As oolBarButtonclickEventArgs) HANDLES toolbar1.click find another method for this Select Case tblMain.Buttons.IndexOf(e.Button) I'm in an internet cafe so ican't test any code Lastly if Add_record() is form, then you need to make an instance of it dim myform as new AdD_record() myform.show or if it is a procedure in a form myform.add_record() will do assuming myform is an open form.

This was a build error, so registered event handlers aren't the problem.
