The Code below will demonstrate the procedure of calling an MDIParent Method from an MDIChild Form.

It may come handy in many cases where you have an MDIParent Form which has some menus disabled then from an Login Form which is an MDI Child form you need to Enable the Menus.

Solution :
The MDI Parent Form :
A) Making the Methods Public


    Public Sub Enable()
        SpecialToolStripMenuItem.Enabled = True
    End Sub

B) Calling the Method from an MDI Child.This code will be written in the child form where you want the parent form method to be called.


            Dim f As Form1 = Me.MdiParent
            f.Enable()
            Me.Close()

In this case the Form1 is the MDIParent Form.In the code the instance of Form1 f is Initialised with the Me.MdiParent which will get the reference of the MDI Parent Form.
