MDI Child

[GDX]

Hello can someone tell me how to go about creating an MDI child? I already created the MDI Parent by setting isMDIContainer = true but now when i do a form.show() the child is allowed to go outside the MDI Parent, Do i have to specify additional parameters to make a form an MDI Child? Or is it just a regular form?

Thanks a lot,
Gordon

Form.MDIParent = Me
Form.Show()

 

[GDX]

Hmmm i tried that but i get the error:

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.


On the frmParent.MdiChild = Me line any ideas on what this could be? Man i wish i had my VS.NET Cds i forgot to install help!

I figured Form was a variable of a form you had already instantiated.

Dim f as New Form2
f.MDIParent = Me
f.Show()
