MDI Child Form (MDI)


Description
MDI Child sub-form. The Menu property is used to name the menu on the parent form which is to be used to manage the MDI stack. This must match the name in the parent’s menu structure exactly ...

  &File>file
  &Window>window
 [window]
  &Cascade ... etc

In this example, use the name ‘window’ to attach the MDI children.

Designed as if it were a stand-alone form. You can call it (to see the effect) from the session, but normally you would use ’Make to make all the MDI children as a create action on the parent form.
