Docking MDI-Childs into the SplitContainers Panel

Question

Hello there.

I use a splitcontainer in my programme, along with a couple of mdi-childs.

I've got a problem now: The splitcontainer is actually in my main form, which is a mdi-container itself. Whenever I try to use mdi-childs, the panel of the splitcontainer is in front of it. Also I have problems with docking the mdi-child into the panel of the splitcontainer. (I don't know if that would be possible though.)

I hope someone can help me out.

Hi SPG,

Try this.

Public Class Form1

Private Sub ToolStripButton1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ToolStripButton1.Click

Dim f As New Form

f.TopLevel = False

SplitContainer1.Panel1.Controls.Add(f)

f.Show()

End Sub

End Class
