Changing MDI child Form Icon with TabbedMDIManager

[Peter Moss]

I have a case when using an MDI child Form with a TabbedMDIManager where I want to change the icon in the tab dynamically. I tried the naive thing which was to set the Form.Icon property but that did not seem to affect anything. Any idea how to do this?

Thanks,
Peter

Hi Peter, Sorry for the inconvenience. This seems to be a bug in TabbedMDIManager Framework as this blocks the icon from getting change in an MDI scenario i.e., when attached to the container. I have logged a bug report # 1406 in this regard. Defect # 1406- Unable to change child form''s icon dynamically when in MDI mode. One workaround will be detaching the child forms and reattaching it again. But note that this will cause some flickering and as this detach and re-attaching the forms.

this.tabbedMDIManager.DetachFromMDIContainer(this,false);
...
...Add child
.. Change icon
..
this.tabbedMDIManager.AttachToMdiContainer(this);

We will try to fix this issue at the earliest and keep you informed. Thanks for bringing this issue to our attention. Please let us know if you have questions. Regards, Mano
