How do I fit child form in MDI form with panel across the top.

19 Jun 2014 by Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov

Basically, MDI is not designed to work with child controls.Here is the idea: who needs MDI, ever? Why torturing yourself and scaring off your users?Do yourself a great favor: do not use MDI at all. You can do much easier to implement design without it, with much better quality. MDI is...

Get the CEdit text (you may either use the GetWindowText[^] method or, if appropriate, the DDX mechanism[^]) and copy it in the right adressen field.Of course, you have to first allocate memory for the adressen structure.As a side note, you are using C++ just like C. Why don't you take...

Why not just create it as another child (Edit) window and let the MDI window control its positioning? See How to: Create MDI Child Forms | Microsoft Docs[^] for some sample code.

That is by design: it's is exactly what the Validation event is there for. If the data in the cell isn't valid, it shouldn't be saved - and that is exactly what the system is trying to do: prevent invalid data getting into your backing storage.

For some background: the real parent (from the stand point of Windows API parent-child relationship at the level of Windows handles), the MDI children are...
