showing a mdiChild form

[Jym]

OK I am lost in my attempt to upgrade to .NET

In visual basic 6.0 I would type

form2.show

and when I would run the app. it would show form1 as my mdi form and open form2 as the child form ... now I don't have a clue what to do to get form2 to appear on the screen as a child form of form1.

Hopefully this is a simple upgrade for me to learn

Thanks to anyone taking the time to help out.

Go here and search for MDI:

form1.IsMdiContainer= true;

Form2Class newfrm2 = Form2Class.CreateInstance(parameters..);
newfrm2.MdiParent = this;
newfrm2.Show();

//where Form2Class - is the form 2 class name

//and this call is made from form1 body

I guess you need this one for VB.NET:

public sub mySub()
  
  dim frm as new Form2
  
  frm.mdiParent = me
  frm.Show()

end sub
