Dear Juan,
Based on your description, you have several child forms in a MDI container
which you want to be able to open fellow child forms.
I am not exactly sure about what you mean. When you mention "fellow child
forms", do you mean you want to open new forms from the child form, and
the new forms also be child forms of the MDI container?
If this is the case, we can call the Form.Show() method in the child form
to open the new forms, and set MdiParent property of the new form to be
the same as the child form's MdiParent property.
For example, we have a child form named "Form1" in the MDI container. On
the Form1, there is a button, click on which we want to open a new form
named "Form2", then we can do something like this in the click event
handler of the button:
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Form2 f2 = new Form2();
f2.MdiParent = this.MdiParent;
f2.Show();
}
}
For more information about the MDI applications, you can read these
documents:
