    Window within window

    Could someone please help? Im trying to figure out how to have multiple
    forms opened within one form, but the book im using really doesn't help
    much.

    I was thinking of using the panels, but im confused as to how to make it
    work.

    Also, if someone could point out a good reference book, that'd be
    awesome.


    thanks for any feedback,
    D

      Re: Window within window

      use the help menu and search for "mdi" forms.

      an mdi parent is the master window and mdi children are the windows that the
      parent will contain. these are properties you can set in the properties
      window of a form.

      i started learning using:

      "programmin g microsoft visual basic .net"

      it's about 3" thick but divided up into logical sections with in-depth
      explanations and examples that are fairly straight-forward and easy to
      understand.

      hth,

      me

          Set the main window's 'IsMdiContainer ' property to 'True'. Then use the
          code below to show your forms:

          \\\
          Dim f As New FooForm()
          f.MdiParent = Me
          f.Show()
          ///
