How to use MetroForm in Visual Basic.NET?

[Elvis Montezuma]

Hello All.

I am using your free license for Visual Basic.NET.

I want to use the MetroForm as MDI container in my app, but Iam not able to do that. Sorry, Iam new in Syncfusion...

I downloaded your MetroForm simple for Visual Basic net, but it does not run properly.

As you mentioned in your sample, I added the syncfusion.shared.base reference to my Project and I wrote the next code in my Form

------------------------------------------

Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic
Imports System
Imports System.Collections.Generic
Imports System.ComponentModel
Imports System.Drawing
Imports System.Text
Imports System.Windows.Forms
Imports Syncfusion.Windows.Forms

Inherits MetroForm

Public Class Form1

End Class

------------------------------------------

what next?...I mean, how can I do to work with Metroform?

Hi Elvis  

  

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support.  

  

You can create the MetroForm by using the following steps:  

 

• Create a project.
• Add the Syncfusion.Shared.Base.dll as a reference.
• Open the Code Window in Form1.
• Use the following code example to render the MetroForm.

  

Please make use of the below Code example: 

  

Code example 

  

'Add Reference  

Imports Syncfusion.Windows.Forms  

  

'MetroForm  

Partial Public Class Form1  

        Inherits MetroForm  

  

        Public Sub New()  

            InitializeComponent()  

             'Write the required Codes Here  

End Sub
