[RESOLVED] How to Change what a Childform has in it.

[soultheift]

Hi im new to c# and i cant figure out how to change what appears in the new childform window that appears when u click the new button. th coding i have so far is

private void ShowNewForm(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// Create a new instance of the child form.
Form childForm = new Form();
// Make it a child of this MDI form before showing it.
childForm.MdiParent = this;
childForm.Text = "Window " + childFormNumber++;
childForm.Show();
}

put:

this.IsMdiContainer=true;

in your Form_Load event handler

Create a new form, say Form2.
build it up like you want it to look,
then instead of
Form childForm = new Form();
yours would read
Form childForm = new Form2();
might want to do something like
childForm.top=0;
childForm.left=0;
