Submitted by janobe on Monday, November 26, 2018 - 20:57.

In this tutorial, I will teach you how to add a form inside the form using C#. This method has the ability to change the display and how the form works into an MDI parent form. Then, you will see that the form displays a sunken client area with a raised border, once you set this property into true . And in the client area, it is where all the MDI child forms placed to the parent form are displayed.

Creating Application

Step 1

Open Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 and create a new windows form application. addfor1

Step 2

Do the Form just like this. addfor2

Step 3

Add another Form. addfor3

Step 4

Go to Form1 and open the code view. In the code view create a method for closing and adding the form inside the form.

private void closeChildForm()
        { 
            foreach(Form frm in this.MdiChildren)
            {
                frm.Close();
            }
        }
 
        private void showFrm(Form frm)
        {
            this.IsMdiContainer = true;
            frm.MdiParent = this;
            frm.Show();
        }

Step 5

Double click the “Add Form” button and call the method that you have created to execute when the button is clicked.

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            closeChildForm();
            Form frm = new Form2();
            showFrm(frm);
 
        }
