How to open a second form in a MDI scenario

[Doru Roman]

Hi,

What is the syntax to open a second Form from a menuitem_click event of a
MDI Main Form?

Thanks,
Doru

Doru,

You mean another child form? Just create the form and set the MdIParent
property to the parent form. Then call Show, and you should be fine.

Hope this helps.

I use .NET 2002 and there is no MDIParent property.

It works with MDIParent but only through code, I was looking under the
properties in the design mode.
It helps when an example is provided.
