Form.LayoutMdi Method
.NET Framework 4.5
Arranges the multiple-document interface (MDI) child forms within the MDI parent form.
Namespace: System.Windows.Forms
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)
The following code example shows the event handlers for the menu items of a Window menu in an MDI application's parent form. Each event handler makes calls to the LayoutMdi method to arrange any child forms that are currently open in the application.
private void HorizontallyTileMyWindows (object sender, System.EventArgs e) { // Tile all child forms horizontally. this.LayoutMdi( MdiLayout.TileHorizontal ); } private void VerticallyTileMyWindows (object sender, System.EventArgs e) { // Tile all child forms vertically. this.LayoutMdi( MdiLayout.TileVertical ); } private void CascadeMyWindows (object sender, System.EventArgs e) { // Cascade all MDI child windows. this.LayoutMdi( MdiLayout.Cascade ); }
