Multiple forms application

[Jef Patat]

Hi all,

I've been searching the net but can't find what I'm looking for. I assume the main reason is that I don't know the name of what I'm looking for

I would like to make an application that looks similar to for example the visual studio IDE in which you can place several "subforms" such as project explorer, output, error list etc. You can move them around in one 'main form', collect them in one place, drag them around, ...

Can anyone give me a hint as to what this is called and how I can achieve this?

thanks in advance,

Jef

You are in need of multiple document interface(MDI) application. If you want your application to look like what you have in Visual Studio, then search the net for Dockable Forms. Also, checkout these links
