MDI problem

Question

Can anyone help me with the following problem?
I want to set MdiParent to something else than Me.
I’m opening a new window from one of the children and I don’t want Me (the child) to be the parent but the child’s parent.
I have tried to create a new object on the parent form and assign it as MdiParent but then it won’t show.
I would be grateful if anyone could help me.

Seems like I’m answering to my own questions here. But I found out this one to
.MdiParent = Me.MdiParent
does the trick

Ok! I’ll try.
I’ve got an MDI application. When I create my child windows from my mdi container (frmMain) there is no problem with the MdiParent. I just set it to Me. As following.
visa_alla.MdiParent = Me
sok_forfattare.MdiParent = Me
lagg_in_ny.MdiParent = Me
But if I want to open an instance of lagg_in_ny from sok_forfattare I can’t set MdiParent = Me because then it will be sok_forfattare and I want the MdiParent to be frmMain.
If I do a new frmMain as
Dim frmm As New frmMain
And set MdiParent to frmm it wont show.
I hope I can get some help here. Its probably not so complicated but I cant get any examples of it anywhere.
Thanx!
