Public Property MdiList As Boolean

Property Value

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

Examples

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

public:
   void SetMDIList()
   {
      // Create the MenuItem to be used to display an MDI list.
      MenuItem^ menuItem1 = gcnew MenuItem;
      // Set this menu item to be used as an MDI list.
      menuItem1->MdiList = true;
   }

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;
}

Public Sub SetMDIList()
    ' Create the MenuItem to be used to display an MDI list.
    Dim menuItem1 As New MenuItem()
    ' Set this menu item to be used as an MDI list.
    menuItem1.MdiList = True
End Sub

Remarks

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.
