MDI: Multiple Document Interface

An MDI form is similar to Word. In word, you can have several documents open at the same time within one "parent" form. When you click "new" you get a blank document that you can type in. In this project we will use a MDI parent form to display pictures in several "child" forms.

1. Save any open project and start a new project named Pictures.
2. On Form1, add a picture box and name it Pic.
3. Set the SizeMode property of Pic to AutoSize.
4. Set the location to 0,0
5. From the menu select Project, Add Windows Form and select MDI Parent form.
6. In the project properties window select start up from MDIParent1, as we did in the previous example.
7. Run the program.
8. Click New from the menu and a new form will appear, but it is not an instance of Form1 with the picture box.
