How to make MDI childs

[Marc1]

Hi,
I'm new to VB.NET and want to make childs in a MDI form but I don't find any property like MDIChild or something to set true (like I use to do in VB6) How can I make this child forms?
Thanx for any help.

Not sure if this is the only/best way, but it works...

For your parent form, set IsMdiContainer to True. Then show a form that you want to be the child - something like

Dim frm As New NewCall ' NewCall is a System.Windows.Forms.Form
frm.MdiParent = Me
frm.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized
frm.Show()

When showing the form set the MDIParent property to the MDIContainer form. I don't remember if you can set that property at designtime or not, sorry.

-Yeah what he said!

I don't think so. I've went true all the form properties 5 times and I didn't found a right property for that action.
