You don't need an MDI form inside an MDI form, It's just as well, because you can't do that anyway. Just add a `Panel` to your parent form and set its `Dock` property to `Left`. You now have a docked `Panel` on the left where you can put your `Buttons` and the rest of the form area is the `MdiClient` for child forms. — jmcilhinney, Sep 19 '18 at 09:59

That's just drag and drop. There's plenty of information about that around. — jmcilhinney, Sep 19 '18 at 10:20

thank you very much. after discussion with jmcilhinney,i will put the final solution.

1- i used panel dock to left

2- i used splitter dock to left

so now i have options to resize the panel and to tile windows for my child forms easy, with this code:

Me.LayoutMdi(System.Windows.Forms.MdiLayout.TileHorizontal)
Me.LayoutMdi(System.Windows.Forms.MdiLayout.TileVertical)
