Hi,

here is short example:

//MainFormactsasMDIcontainer(parent)->MainForm.IsMDIContainer=true.
//InMainFormclass
privatevoidopenMdiChild()
{
Form1child1=newForm1();
child1.MdiParent=this;
child1.Show();
}
//Form2canbeopenedfromForm1.
//InForm1class
privatevoidopenMdiChild()
{
Form2child2=newForm2();
child2.MdiParent=this.MdiParent;
child2.Show();
}
