Form::LayoutMdi Method
Visual Studio 2010
Arranges the multiple-document interface (MDI) child forms within the MDI parent form.
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 ); } void VerticallyTileMyWindows( Object^ sender, System::EventArgs^ e ) { // Tile all child forms vertically. this->LayoutMdi( MdiLayout::TileVertical ); } void CascadeMyWindows( Object^ sender, System::EventArgs^ e ) { // Cascade all MDI child windows. this->LayoutMdi( MdiLayout::Cascade ); }
