DocumentManager.MdiParent Property

Gets or sets the parent MDI form.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraBars.Docking2010

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraBars.v19.1.dll

Declaration

C#

[DefaultValue(null)]
[DXCategory("Behavior")]
public Form MdiParent { get; set; }

VB.NET

<DefaultValue(Nothing)>
<DXCategory("Behavior")>
Public Property MdiParent As Form

Property Value

Type	Default	Description
Form	*null*	The parent MDI form.

Remarks

The DocumentManager sets the IsMdiContainer property of the parent MDI form to true.

When a DocumentManager is created at design time, the MdiParent property is automatically initialized. When a DocumentManager is created at runtime, you need to manually set this property.

If you use WindowsUIView with a start-up TileContainer that should support touch scrolling, clear this property and assign the parent form to the DocumentManager.ContainerControl property instead.

C#

documentManager1.ContainerControl = this;

VB.NET

DocumentManager1.ContainerControl = Me
