I have an ArcGIS 10 application I am coding in VB.NET 2008. I have added a MapControl and a AxToolbarControl to the form with the MapControl being a buddy of the toolbar. The form is instantiated as a MDIChild of the main form. I have a feature that removes the MDIChild from the main form and moves it to a second monitor. This function worked fine when I had the MapControl alone, but when I added the toolbar control I get the error shown at the bottom of this message. This error occurs when the following line is executed:
Me.MdiParent = Nothing
The error shows up as the MDIChild form not showing up in the second monitor with no error being thrown. I had to click on Debug|Exceptions menus items then chck "Thrown" for all exception types to capture the error.
I have been able to find that similar errors occurred in an earlier version of ArcObjects and I was wondering if that may have cropped up again?
I tried placing the control in a panel, but that didn't help.
Thanks,
Jack
