MDIParent inside another MDIParent

[hoagers34]

Is it possible to make a form that is a MDIParent to other forms a MDIChild to another??? I am getting errors that an MDIParent cannot be MDIChild as well. Is there any way around this??? Please help, stuck on this one.

Nope, you really are stuck because you can't have an MDIParent as a parent of an MDIParent form. There's no support for this in .NET.

is there anyway to use some other type of control other than a form???

Not really if you want the same functionality as a Form : or unless you're prepared to implement all the functionality of a child form yourself in your own control.

Why do you need an MDIParentForm inside an MDIParentForm ? I'd reconsider the design of your UI if I were you.
