Multiple forms....

[LiquidRezin]

Hey peops, well, I want to make a program that has multiple forms...it's easy i know, but the way i want it, i cant seem to find any documentation on...this is how it should run...the main form will have a treeview on the left side acting as a menu and the right side will be a blank area (maybe a wrong description for this, but let me continue). If an item is selected from my menu (treeview) i want a form to pop up in the "blank area". If i try to drag the popped up form outside of the main form, I want it so that the child form stays within the main form and doesnt drag outside the dimensions of the blank area...as usual, any help is appreciated.

what you want is an MDIParent form for your main for and other forms with the MDIChild property set to true.
A standard (MS) way to do this is with a button bar on the left side (like in outlook).
Look in the help for MDIParent.
