在c＃中自定义MDI

Question

In my project i have to run multi-interfaces at a time. I used isMdicontainer property. But problem is whole area is converted to MDI. Can i set boundaries for it,like in Photoshop(below menu-bar there is toolbar,below toolbar Mdi is appearing).

And I like the tab structure in Photoshop used to switch images. How can i introduce that into my project for switching between forms. I am using VS 2010, Doing project in C#(Win forms), net framework 3.5

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You can use container controls like Panels and Dock them to the side — this will reduce the area of the MDI child area.

As far as tabs are concerned, that's a different beast than the MDI model. You can try Multi Document Interface (MDI) tab page browsing with C#

Answer 2

You can do a lot of things,

The following tasks are illustrated Here :

• Creating the main menu for your form. The actual name of the menu will vary.
• Adding the ToolStripPanel control to the Toolbox.
• Creating a child form.
• Arranging ToolStripPanel controls by z-order.

Answer 3

The following steps should give you a start.

• Add a MenuBar a ToolStrip and a TabControl to your main form.
• Set their Dock property to DockStyle.Top .
• Resize the TabControl so that the tabpages are hidden.
• When you open a new MDI form add a tab and select it.
