MDI Existing form

[Wrauberto]

Howdy,

I have an existing form loaded with all sorts of pretty boxes and buttons. I want to make this an MDI child and need to create an MDI parent OR make this a parent and launch children from it.

I'll just say the files are:

frmExistingForm
frmNewMain
frmNewChild

Here is what I would do.
1)Make the frmNewMain the MDI Parent (set the MDI Container property to
true).

2), create a menu with File as a top level item and New an item under File.

3) for the code under New Click Event.

4). Add this code:
dim frmNewChild as frmExistingForm
frmNewChild.parent = Me
frmNewChild.show

Hope this helps.
