MDI Parent & Child

[mjenkinson05]

I have an MDI Parent and cant find how to make a form a child of that parent, im using VS2005. Can Anyone help?

 

[azshah]

set Mdicontainer property to true for parent Form
and
childForm.mdiParent = parentForm

'Me' keyword is used within a class to reference the current instance. So 'Me' is the form instance of "parent form" that you assign the child forms MdiParent property when configuring this from within the parent form.

another thing ...if u make a child from a child form ... u can set the parent to the top parent like

i'm in second form :
dim frm2 as new form2
frm2.mdiparent = me.mdiparent

like that u create a child from a child and set its parent to the childs parent
