MDI parents forms and controls

[Joe_Black]

Hi all,

I have a Form that I have assigned as an MDI Parent, on this form is a
menu, a panel(on the far left side of the form), and on the panel a
couple of controls. Now when I create a new form and assign as a mdi
child to my main form its does exactly what its meant to do and only
exists within the mainforms area.

My problem is that the child form disappears behind the panel, and I
don't want that to happen, when you maximise the child form again part
of that form dissapears behind the panel. I would like only the space on
the right of the panel to be the area where the child forms exist. How
can this be achieved?

Many thanks

Joe

Joe,

set de Dockpadding property to the leftmargin width you need.

Select the Plus symbol regarding to Dockpadding in the propertywindows and
edit the Left attribute.
Now every childforms starts with a margin from the left border.

Goodluck.
