double mdi form?

[markman]

Id like an mdi form with a child that has mdi children, sort of like an mdiform as an mdichild of another mdiform. Ill try and draw a pic:

________
| |------|   |
| | |--|  |   |
| | |_|  |   |
| |        |   |
|  -------|   |
|               |
-------------

Is that possible?

I finks yous could try something funky wiv da SetParent API, but I fink yous can only 'ave one MDI form in da project, aye

[James Stanich]

AliG has the right idea. This is the only was possible, but why do you want to do it this way?

You could shell between the programs if you must have the MDIForms...

Im making a powerpoint semi-clone. Powerpoint has an mdi (separate child for each window) except im doing that PLUS a code-based part. So each presentation will have two children. So I need the main mdi form with a child for every open presentation. Each of those windows will have two children: Design and Code.
Anyone else know how to do that?

Daler say..use SSTab Control!

[markman]

I thought about it but thought it would look wierd. Also, some elements that I have (such as splitting the form) wouldnt work.

[Daler Mehndi]

You hide tabs! Very easy then make button that switch tab.

COULD YOU SPEAK IN ENGLISH SO I CAN UNDERSTAND YOU BLADE??????

[Daler Mehndi]

You mean BLOND MAN?!??!?!?! HAH!

[markman]

I know how to use sstabs and tab control, but i would not like to ever put it on the form. Id like to figure out how to do that mdi thing somehow, blade (I know its you)
