Hey guys

I just started working with VB6 and my know-how is not that good.

My question: I have a MDIForm and I want to put 2 or 3 other forms into it, just like the windows in the surface of the environment (Microsoft Visual Basic) - which you can choose by clicking on the menu 'View'. Does anyone know how to do it?

I appreciate every help.

I would suggest you stop right there before it's too late. VB6 is long dead and offers no benefits to a new developer. Get yourself a copy of the latest Visual Studio Express[^] and get to work on something useful, and fully supported. Note: scroll down the page to the item titled Express 2013 for Windows Desktop and download and install on your system.

Oh, and forget MDIForms, that is also deprecated technology.

I really would like to finish my project with another programming language, but i'ts impossible, because we use this programm since a very very long time. So I could start something new, but it would take years to complete this programm - I have no choice :S

Sorry, but I do not know how you would do that in VB6.
