Answer 1

You need to set the child Form's MdiParent Property to your MdiContainer. This example assumes two Forms one named Form1 and the other named Form2. All properties are being set programmatically.

Public Class Form1

    Public Sub New()

        InitializeComponent()
        Me.IsMdiContainer = True
        Dim frm2 As Form2 = New Form2
        frm2.Owner = Me
        frm2.MdiParent = Me
        frm2.Show()

    End Sub
End Class

Answer 2

Here's the answer, straight from Microsoft:

Protected Sub MDIChildNew_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MenuItem2.Click
   Dim NewMDIChild As New Form2()
   'Set the Parent Form of the Child window.
   NewMDIChild.MdiParent = Me
   'Display the new form.
   NewMDIChild.Show()
End Sub

I think Mr.Mark Hall missed 1 property.., Try this.......

Public Class Form1

Public Sub New()

    InitializeComponent()
    Me.IsMdiContainer = True
    Dim frm2 As Form2 = New Form2
    frm2.Owner = Me
    frm2.MdiParent = Me.MdiParent
    frm2.Show()

End Sub

End Class

Answer 4

it is actualy this:

Private sub new()

Dim c as form1 = new form1
c.owner = Me
c.MdiParent = Me
c.show

End sub

InitializeComponent() does just what it says, it initializes a component. It is NOT for Mdichild.

Answer 5

Private Sub HomeToolStripMenuItem_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
   Dim homechild As New login
   homechild.MdiParent = Me
   homechild.Dock = DockStyle.Fill
   homechild.Show()
End Sub
