    Question Making MDI Child at run time

    Hi,

    I have a problem. I want to make a form an mdi child of another form during run time. I did it by using SetParent api, but it is not working as expected. Eventhough it became mdi child, when I maximize it is not maximizing as mdi childs do. Still I can see two window title bars. Usually when we maximize an mdi child, the window title bar of the child becomes invisible. Is it possible to make a form an mdi child during run time and they work exactly the same way as if we set during design time?

    Thanks

    Kishore

    Not directly (that I know of). You'll have to put in extra code to hide the caption bar of the "child" form. Also code to handle any menus that you may want to combine when mximizing the forms.
