Windows Application suggestion

[cc96ai]

Hello,
I want to build a window form application
which have several forms
e.g. Products , Inventory, report, user manager , etc.

my question is
whats the best architecture to build them together
- MDI (I dont want to user to resize the child window, can I disable them ?)
- SDI with tab panel / layer (kind of mess)
- Show dialog on each form (but i just want to display one form )
- other suggestion ?

Thanks

In my opinion MDI is best. you can just disable resizing the form by

Me.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.FixedDialog

or

Me.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.FixedToolWindow

Just try this

I am using a flashy interface with Office 2007 like interface with a ribon control, which works like a Tabbed toolbar and replaces menus, and the outlooking of the form. A demo version is available for the registered VB 2005 Express users.

You can then other froms as modal from the main form. Me too do not like to use midi forms for this purpose.

Regards!
