MDI Panel

[Guest]

In an application i am writing i could do with having separate MDI
containers, this would allow me split application forms into distinct screen
areas. My initial idea is to create a new Panel control to act as an MDI
container.

Has anyone done anything like this before or can anyone give me some tips on
how to implement it?

I'm not sure that you can have 2 MdiClients (I know you can add one, but I
don't think they work together).
You may wish to simulate MDI by using Forms as UserControls. There is an
example on my site to help with this option:

re Nothing from your website.
This is so economical - zero repeat zero - processor, RAM and disk usage!
how did you manage it?

It wasn't easy, but if you take a look at it with Reflector you should see
exactly how it's done ;-)

ahhh
i didnt know that so many people knew about System.Ethereal !
but to use System.Ethereal.CreateActivateDispose(MSIL.NOP)
is sheer brilliance!
