Newbie - MDI Question

[Andy]

Hi

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()

The answer to your question is "Yes".

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.
