You just need to select the menu bar on the parent form, and find the property called MDIWindowListItem. You will see a list of all the buttons you created, select the one which you want to show the list of mdi windows and it's done. It will automatically manage the list of MDI windows created.

Hope it helps

maybe you think i'm joking!!! but my solution is real! i spend near one day to find what should i do to don't appear the parent's controls front of my child forms; finally i try to compare its wizard MDIParent window with my own parent form. there is no different between them. if you add a control on wizard parent form, the child form will show back of the parent form's control!!! (this problem was at BASE OR maybe I didn't find what's the real answer! :) )

SUGGESTION:

if you want your parent form has controls, you can add an other child form (as main page) then put your controls on it; at load event of parent form show the child form(that you created it as a main page!) :)

BE SUCCESSFUL!! ;)
