MDI Childs in VS2005 Pro?

[Stampede]

Hello,
I created a Windows Application Project and tried to create a MDI-based
application. So I created a new MDI-parent with the creation wizzard. Then I
created a default form and tried to make it a MDI-child of the parent I just
created, but I didn't find an entry in the properties dialog which would the
form make a MDI-child.

Can someone explain to me how to add MDI-childs?

greetings

Florian,

This is something you have to do in code in response to an action. You
have to create an instance of your child, and then set the MdiParent
property to the form instance which is the parent. Then, when you call Show
on the child form, it will show as an MDI child.

Hope this helps.
