I am facing an issue when trying with MDI Container. I have made my home page form-Home as IsMDIContainer = true in properties. When I click a button on the home page form I should open another form. Following is the code snippet I've used is this correct what change I need to do. but the form didnt show

C#

Test objTest = new Test();
        objTest.MdiParent = this;
        objTest.Show();

I've used split panel in home page, the size of the page I'm calling is the panel2 size of split panel

Thanks in advance

Ok, I got it. You have added SplitContainer that is hiding your Child Form.
Add child form to SplitContainer's panel
splitContainer1.Panel2.Controls.Add(objForm);
