MenuItem.MdiList Property

.NET Framework 2.0

Gets or sets a value indicating whether the menu item will be populated with a list of the Multiple Document Interface (MDI) child windows that are displayed within the associated form.

Namespace: System.Windows.Forms
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in system.windows.forms.dll)

C#
C++
VB
Copy 
public bool MdiList { get; set; }
J#
Copy 
/** @property */
public boolean get_MdiList ()

/** @property */
public void set_MdiList (boolean value)
JScript
Copy 
public function get MdiList () : boolean

public function set MdiList (value : boolean)

Property Value

true if a list of the MDI child windows is displayed in this menu item; otherwise, false. The default is false.

When a menu item is selected to display an MDI child window list, the list is displayed as a submenu of the menu item. Only forms that are defined as MDI child forms are displayed in the window list. Only nine child windows can be displayed at a time. If there are more than nine child windows displayed, a "More Windows..." menu item is displayed at the end of the window list. Clicking this menu item displays a dialog box with a complete list of the child windows that are currently active.

The following code example creates a MenuItem that is used to display the list of currently open MDI child forms in an MDI form.

C#
C++
VB
Copy 
public void SetMDIList()
{
   // Create the MenuItem to be used to display an MDI list.
   MenuItem menuItem1 = new MenuItem();
   // Set this menu item to be used as an MDI list.
   menuItem1.MdiList = true;
}
J#
Copy 
public void SetMDIList()
{
    // Create the MenuItem to be used to display an MDI list.
    MenuItem menuItem1 = new MenuItem();

    // Set this menu item to be used as an MDI list.
    menuItem1.set_MdiList(true);
} //SetMDIList
