Another MDI?

[nolc]

Ok...I have an MdiParent form named MAIN & 3 other forms as MdiChildren. When I call a frmEditOrder.Show from the Tracking form it loads a brand new form and doesn't include it within the Parent Form, MAIN. Any ideas? Below is my code thus far.....

[B]' MAIN CODE [/B]
Private Sub MAIN_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        OrderEntry.MdiParent = Me
        Tracking.MdiParent = Me
        frmEditOrder.MdiParent = Me
    End Sub

    Private Sub mnuTracking_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles mnuTracking.Click
        Tracking.Show()
        Tracking.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal
        Tracking.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.CenterScreen
    End Sub

[B]' Tracking CODE [/B]
Dim frmEditOrder As EditOrder = New EditOrder()

With frmEditOrder
    .StartPosition = FormStartPosition.CenterParent
    .Show()
End With

Have you set Form MDIChild Property to True?

Yeah...I've tried doing the same thing, but it didn't work.
Thanks...

Did you set the main forms "IsMdiContainer" property to "true" ?

Just calling a frmEditOrder.Show from the MDI Parent form is not enough to tell the new form to be a child form. You have to do it like this:

Dim f As New frmEditOrder()
f.MDIParent = Me
f.Show()
