I have a main menu in a parent form which calls multiple child forms in a windows application;

        Dim newMdiChild As New Form1
        newMdiChild.MdiParent = Me
        newMdiChild.Show()

        Dim newMdiChild As New Form2
        newMdiChild.MdiParent = Me
        newMdiChild.Show()

How can I pass the child form class name as a parameter to a function so that I can avoid the above code repetition?

Thanks

Why you want to pass the name of the child form, instead you pass in the form like below
SetMDIProperty(frm)

The function would be like SetMDIProperty(from as System.Windows.Forms)
and do all the work in the function.



It is not how much we do,
but how much love we put in the doing.
