Multiple forms

Thanks for your post.  For some reason this code is not working for me.  I get an error stating 'WindowsApplication1.Form1' is a 'type' but is used as a 'variable'.  :(

Hi Maria,

You can have as many child forms as you want. you have to set the MDIParent property to point to the form which is the MDI parent.

In the button click event of the form2 write the following code.

public void Button1_Click(...)
{
Form3 obj = new Form3();
obj.MDIParent= Form1;
obj.Show();
}

Thank you,

Now what if I want the child form to open up another form within the parent.  For example...

form1 is the parent and form2 is the child.  I want when I click a button in form2 form3 opens within form1.
