MDIforms

[juliemac]

I have a form already created, but now want to expand the application.
I created a MDIParent, but cant seem to find how to change the existing form to an MDI child.

In VB6 it was as simple as a click in the properties....

[techgnome]

by setting the MDIPArent when you show the form...

        ' Create a new instance of the child form.
        Dim ChildForm As New System.Windows.Forms.Form
        ' Make it a child of this MDI form before showing it.
        ChildForm.MdiParent = Me

-tg

In the form load of the called form?
I can open the form, but its over the top of the parent form.
IIRC, a child form opens with in the parent frame.

As in TG's example, when you create the form.
Maybe it's the click event of a button used to create a new MDI Child.
