Form Hierarchy
The Form Hierarchy element allows you to establish a parent/child relationship between two forms.
When used in Parent Form: This control will provide a link in the parent form; clicking on this link will launch the child form. This link is only visible after the parent form process is started. After the child process is launched, the icons in the parent form shows the current state of the child form and you can open the form directly from the parent form by clicking this link.
When used in Child Form: You can also put this control in the child form; this will allow you to view or open the parent form from within the child form.
It is used in conjunction with Form Data Exchange so forms can exchange data. Use the Form Data Exchange control to exchange the data between parent and child forms.
If you deploy a solution and the Form Name property is not found, you will receive an error message within a dialog box.
