MDI layout on startup

[srd1984]

Hey,

 

Having real trouble on my MDI application.

 

I create two window as follows

 

frmSChild objfrmSChild = new frmSChild();
objfrmSChild.MdiParent = this;
objfrmSChild.Show();

	
frmMChild objfrmMChild = new frmMChild();
objfrmMChild.MdiParent = this;
objfrmMChild.Show();

 

And I have tried to put in a way of having it tiled on startup, but I cant get it to work.

 

Ideally I want a form that I have created to perform this so that the form appears on startup and the user can choose the layout.

 

So later I have this to create an instance of the form Layout I already have.

 

public void Layout()
{
 frmLayout layout = new frmLayout();
 layout.ParentFormLayout = this;
 layout.ShowDialog();

 if (layout.DialogResult == DialogResult.OK)
 {
   this.LayoutMdi(MdiLayout.TileHorizontal);
 }
 if (layout.DialogResult == DialogResult.Cancel)
 {
   this.LayoutMdi(MdiLayout.TileVertical);
 }
}

 

But no matter where I place this method it doesnt seem to work.

 

Even if I add tiling straight after the first code I placed, not even an option just tiling horizontal it doesnt work. I can only do it from the Main Menu when clicking the TileHorizontal from the window tab.

 

Its driving me crazy!!!

 

Any help is greatly appreciated
