[RESOLVED][02/03] How to make my form MDI?

[shyguyjeff]

Elow everyone...it's me again, i just want to know how to make my form into MDI...I mean I want to make my form to open only one window..Like for exampe since i log in already, I dont want that form anymore to display on my Task bar and when I am already at my main form I want it to display only the main form in my taskbar even i open a multiple document...

Set the main form's IsMdiContainer property to True and assign the main form to each child form's MdiParent property.

how can i assign the main for to each child form's MdiParent property jm? can u give me some ways how to do that.

When someone tells me I should use a type or member I am unfamiliar with, the first thing I do is read the documentation for that type or member. On many, if not most, occasions that documentation will give me all the information I need. This is one of those occasions. Read the documentation for the MdiParent property and you can answer your own question.

ahhh...okies jm....i will just read...I made one I already done with the first one but the next I failed because it I think an f an MDIparent has MDIchild I cannot used it anymore...but i will try to read some articles so that I will be enlighten..Tnx again jm...your great!

The whole point of MDI is the M, i.e. Multiple. If an MDI parent could only have one child then it wouldn't be very M would it?
