set form.owner

[guoqi zheng]

Dear sir,

I would like to open form1 from form2. Form2 contains a menu item, when
click one of the menu items, I do the following.

Dim s As New Form3
s.Owner = Me
s.Show()

What I want is that form1 open within the windows of form2, can not be
larger than or outside form2.

What I did wrong here?

regards,

Instead of setting the form's 'Owner' property you may want to check the
form's 'IsMdiContainer' and 'MdiParent' properties.
