Mdi Child and paret form problem vb.net

77
Please help me I am so confused.
I am working on an application and I need to make one of my forms as a parent and the rest of them should be child.
I tried this :
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Private Sub ViewTransactionToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ViewTransactionToolStripMenuItem.Click
  2.         Dim NewMDIChild As New frmTransaction
  3.         NewMDIChild.MdiParent = Me
  4.  
  5.         frmTransaction.Show()
  6.  
  7.     End Sub
And I set the IsMDIContainer property to true but it is not child and parent yet.

What is wrong here?Do I have to change anything else too?

So your main form's IsMdiContainer property is set to true? That should be right.

Yes IsMDIContainer property is true. But it is not working.

Let me clear some facts for myself, Please correct me if I am wrong.
When we have Child and parent forms the only parent’s name will be shown in the taskbar? Is it correct? And I should not be able to move child from out of parent form is true?

I found this and it helped me:
With frmClose
.MdiParent = Me
.FormBorderStyle = Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.FixedDialog
.Show()
End With
