Finding MdiParent property

Hi...

I try the example on Parent and Child....


I can find the IsMildContainer in the form1 when i first create the project.


However when i create another form2........i can 't find the MdiParent property in the form....


How do i know when MdiParent is visible at times and when is not.....



Thanks

Are you looking for it at design time?

This property is only available at run time. To make form2 an MDI child of form1, try this:

VB Code:

Dim f as New form2()
f.MdiParent = InstanceOfForm1
f.Show()

If you are loading form2 from within form1, you can replace InstanceOfForm1 with the 'Me' keyword. Otherwise InstanceOfForm1 should be a reference to an instance of form1
