MDI Child window behavior

[MartinMCU]

Hello all,

I am trying to develop a Windows Forms application in Visual C#.NET 2005. I
have created a FormMainMDI, which has the IsMDIContainer property set to
true. I have created a second form, FormClients, which displays information
about the clients in the system. This form has the following constructor:

public FormClients(For mMainMDI parent)
{
InitializeCompo nent();
this.MdiParent = parent;
}

Which should link it to the FormMainMDI. I have a button in the FormMainMDI
that launches FormClients. This all works beautifully. However, the window
behavior of FormMainMDI and FormClients is not how I want it to be.
Currently, the FormClients pops up on top of and "outside of" the
FormMainMDI. That is, I can drag the FormClients outside of the boundaries of
the FormMainMDI. What I would rather have happen is have the FormClients be
contained inside the FormMainMDI, so that a scrollbar would appear if the
arrangement of its child windows was larger than its area. Effectively, I
want to implement a windowing behavior similar to the behavior of Microsoft
Access. What do I need to do to enable this kind of functionality? Thanks,

Matt Martin

If you have IsMDIContainer it should have worked just fine. In the code where
you are launching the FormClients ensure that you are creating an instance
using the parameterized constructor of FormClients.
