iam using C#.Net Windows Application.In my project have different module that will be used by MDI..
now what the problem is,i can open a new form mean they will display maximize,minimize and Close icon in both MDI and Menustrip.See Below Image...
How can i remove child forms icons(Maximize,Minimize and Close) from MenuStrip
Thanks in Advance...
In winforms the area where those buttons are is called ControlBox if you do not want them to be displayed you should set the ControlBox property of the form to false
childForm.ControlBox = false;
But as pointed out in the comments you could use your forms as UserControls by just setting its TopLevel property to false
Form childForm = new Form()
childForm.TopLevel = false;
childForm.Parent = MainForm;
childForm.Show()
Doing that you can acomplish the same final result as an MDI form
I am sure this is solve for what you search
in first you should set all properties
formborderstyle = None
ControlBox = false
MaximizeBox = false
MinimizeBox = false
showicon = false
and DO NOT SET Windowstate = maximized
secondly when you create object from this form
form1 form= new Student();
form.MdiParent = this;
form.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
form.Show();

I tried to create a new form inside the Parent. I set FormBorderStyle to none.
When I am adjusting MDIParent to the myForm, it gave me a sick looking error like this:
System.ArgumentException : The given Form is not being recalled as a MdiContainer.
This is my code for creating a new Windows Form.
FrmHome myForm = new FrmHome ();
myForm.TopLevel = false;
pnlContainer.Controls.Add(myForm);
myForm.Show();
The Mdi parent must have it's IsMdiContainer property set to True.
You can set this property at design time in your main form or runtime :-
Form1 f1 = new Form1();
f1.MdiParent = this;
f1.Show();
Form1 is the name of the form that you want to show.
Form.IsMdiContainer Property
Property Value
Boolean
true if the form is a container for MDI child forms; otherwise, false.
The default is false.
I have a main application form, I've set the IsMdiContainer property to TRUE
I have a panel in the main application form on the top but when I open the ChildForm it opens behind the panel. How do I set location relative to the bottom of the panel + maximize the window?
As Hans said in comments, Set the Dock property of Panel to Top for example. And add your Mdi Childs this way:
Example:
private void MdiTest_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//Codes for test only
var f = new Form();
f.Controls.Add(new TextBox());
f.MdiParent = this;
f.Show();
}
Note:
You can access to MdiClient control this way:
var mdiClient = this.Controls.OfType<System.Windows.Forms.MdiClient>().First();
Then you can do anything with it if you need. It is a Control like other controls.
Normal State:
Maximized State:
I have an MDI parent and MDI child. I want to hide the icon of the child form in a maximized state, so I tried the following:
g.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal;
g.ShowIcon = false;
g.Show();
g.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized;
The showicon value of the child form is set to false, but when it's maximized, it still shows an icon:
MDI requires these frame decorations to be present, it will misbehave in various ways when you try to hide them. A simple workaround is to create an icon that's entirely transparent.
In the ItemAdded event:
if (e.item.Text == "" )
{
e.item.Visible = false;
}

How do I disable form resizing for users? Which property is used?
I tried AutoSize and AutoSizeMode.
Change the FormBorderStyle to one of the fixed values: FixedSingle, Fixed3D,
FixedDialog or FixedToolWindow.
The FormBorderStyle property is under the Appearance category.
Or check this:
// Define the border style of the form to a dialog box.
form1.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.FixedDialog;
// Set the MaximizeBox to false to remove the maximize box.
form1.MaximizeBox = false;
// Set the MinimizeBox to false to remove the minimize box.
form1.MinimizeBox = false;
// Set the start position of the form to the center of the screen.
form1.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.CenterScreen;
// Display the form as a modal dialog box.
form1.ShowDialog();
Use the FormBorderStyle property. Make it FixedSingle:
this.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.FixedSingle;
Use the FormBorderStyle property of your Form:
this.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.FixedDialog;
Change this property and try this at design time:
FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.FixedDialog;
Designer view before the change:
I always use this:
// Lock form
this.MaximumSize = this.Size;
this.MinimumSize = this.Size;
This way you can always resize the form from Designer without changing code.
Using the MaximumSize and MinimumSize properties of the form will fix the form size, and prevent the user from resizing the form, while keeping the form default FormBorderStyle.
this.MaximumSize = new Size(XX, YY);
this.MinimumSize = new Size(X, Y);
I would set the maximum size, minimum size and remove the gripper icon of the window.
Set properties (MaximumSize, MinimumSize, and SizeGripStyle):
this.MaximumSize = new System.Drawing.Size(500, 550);
this.MinimumSize = new System.Drawing.Size(500, 550);
this.SizeGripStyle = System.Windows.Forms.SizeGripStyle.Hide;
I have tried as follows when clicking on a menu but the form still appears to be on the top left of the mdichild.I have also tried manual position but does not work.
Any suggestions?
Form1 form= new Form1{MdiParent = this};
form.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.CenterParent;
form.Show();
try
form.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.CenterScreen ;
