Why not use these to open and close the form?

frmChild.Show

Close frmChild


<div>
The child is actually an application I am running in the midiform (not a form in my projectZ), so I only have a handle on it.<br />

I have looked for examples in vb dealing with closing an app. window I have set as a child in a midi. I am doing this with sendmessage but the examples I have seen don't work<br />
<br />
ex. : <br />
RetVal = SendMessage(ChildhWnd, WM_CLOSE, WM_CLOSE, 0&amp;)<br />
RetVal = SendMessage(ChildhWnd, WM_SYSCOMMAND, SC_CLOSE, 0&amp;)

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
