Putting a form in a form without MDI

Putting a form in a form without MDI

Post by Lawrence Lust » Sun, 31 Dec 1899 09:00:00



I'd like to right an application where all the forms are contained
within the one main form, much as MDI forms stay within their frames
(without using MDI).  I can assign the parent property of each form to
be the main form, and I get something along the lines of what I want,
but the form in form never is able to get the focus.

Can this be done, and if so how?

It's not an MDI application.  All the forms I open and close are
diferent, not instances of the same form, when I hide the forms I want
them hidden, not minimized, etc.

I'm working on two projects at the moment - both are MDI - but
in both cases there are many different MDI child forms. It's
not a problem. Instead of hiding unwanted forms, they are created
when needed are freed when they're finished with. They're *not*
minimised.
