Basically, you can't. This is caused by how MDI works.
Untested: My approach would be using a view concept, which is isolated from forms. Then you can start such a drag by creating a new single (SDI) form and just changing the parent of the view from the MDI form to the new form..

venerdì 3 agosto 2012 16:55I vaguely recall doing this in VB a couple of years ago but I think it was with a toolbar button that changed its status as child form. Unfortunately, I can't find the source code. What about tabbed documents as used in VS2010? Does anybody on this forum know how that's done? It doesn't have to be MDI.

I seem to have found what I was looking for at: https://github.com/dockpanelsuite/dockpanelsuite.

As far as I can see, it does not allow you to drag out a MDI child window to a stand-alone window..

sabato 25 agosto 2012 16:55It doesn't need to. I can create "child-like" forms and dock in "parent-like" form or tear them away as desired. It does have some features related to mdi forms, I didn't look it that because I don't need it after all. The docking features are what I really wanted.
