MDI Child form interacting with its MDI Parents Controls - how?
Situation:
I have a MDI Parent which has a Treeview of data loaded at form_load event.
Clicking certain nodes of this Treeview opens a child form named
'Companies'. In Companies I display a datagrid. Double clicking on rows
should change the Treenode that is selected in my MDI Parent (the
childs parent).
However, I am getting a System.StackOverflowException when I double click on a DataGridRow.
Here is the Event handler
[code]
private void dgCompanies_CellContentDoubleClick(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
{
selectedCompany = dgCompanies.SelectedCells[0].Value.ToString().Trim();
frmMain newFrmMain = (frmMain)this.MdiParent;
newFrmMain.JumpToCompany(selectedCompany);
}
[/code]
And here is JumpToCompany which is a public event in frmMain
[code]
public void JumpToCompany(string companyName)
{
try
{
foreach (TreeNode treeNode in this.trvCompanyVesselList.Nodes)
{
if (treeNode.Tag.ToString() == companyName)
{
trvCompanyVesselList.SelectedNode = treeNode;
trvCompanyVesselList.Focus();
foundIndex = true;
}
JumpToCompany(companyName);
}
}
catch (StackOverflowException se)
{
MessageBox.Show(se.Message);
}
}
[/code]
So, in a nutshell, can I interact with controls on a MDI Parent form, which is triggered by an event on a Child form?
Cheers
