VB 2008 - MDI child forms - How do I set a form as a MDI child form

[emaduddeen]

Greeting Everyone,

I have several forms in my project and I have set the IsMdiContainer property to True on my main form.

This project also is not using a menu system. Instead I'm using a 3rd party ribbon control with buttons that call the other forms in the project.

Can you tell me how to set the other existing forms in the project as MDI child forms?

Thanks.

Truly,
Emad

Hello,
See if the following code can help you

protected void MDIChildNew_Click(object sen, System.EventArgs e){
   Form3 mdicld = new Form3();
   // Set the Parent Form of the Child window.
   mdicld.MdiParent = this;
   // Display the new form.
   mdicld.Show();
}


private:
   System::Void menuItem2_Click(System::Object *  sen,
      System::EventArgs *  e)
   {
      Form3 *mdicld = new Form3();
      // Set the Parent Form of the Child window.
      mdicld->MdiParent = this;
      // Display the new form.
      mdicld->Show();
   }

Greetings Solaris,

Thanks so much for the help.

I translated the C to VB and found out how you did it.
