MDI Example?

[Drv89]

Hi all,

I am just doing some research on a VB.NET / WinForm project and just wondering whether someone can point me to the right place for some examples on MDI forms?

I have not previously done much with MDI Forms but the application I am developing is an inventory system and I think it would be good to use MDI (unless you can tell me what I shouldn't head done that path)

Thanks!

There's not really much to it. You set the parent form's IsMdiContainer property to True and you assign the parent form to the child's MdiParent property before showing it. The only complexity arises if you want to merge the child forms' menus and tool bars into those of the parent form.
