Newbie - MDI QuestionHi
I', just starting out building my first real app in VB.Net. In the long run I want this app to use MDI forms. But, to get the app up and running quick I plan to implement it's features step by step. If I no in the beginning just implement some features and use a standard single form for these, can this form easily be transformed to a MDI child, so I can implement this form in my MDI app without changing too much of the code? /A. Andy,
You just have to set the form's mdiParent before you show it to make a form a mdi child Dim frm As New WindowsApplication1.Form1 frm.MdiParent = Me frm.Show() Ken ---------------------- Show quoteHide quote "Andy" <andy@spamblocker.org> wrote in message news:%23O0NbfwCHHA.3620@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... > Hi > > I', just starting out building my first real app in VB.Net.

Later, you can set the IsMDIContainer property to True, and add your own MenuStrip, ToolStrip, and StatusStrip. This is pretty much what starting with an MDI template does for you. Robin S.
