Removing forms from TabbedMDIManager

[Ken Law]

I need to remove the forms from a tabbedMDIManager without Closing (and thus disposing) of the forms. I have a set of forms instantiated in memory and need to Hide and Show them in various configurations. If I call Hide() on a form, it disappears but the tab in the tabbed mdi remains visible. Clicking on the tab may show the form again.
How do I remove forms from a tabbedMDIManager without Closing them?

Hi Ken, You could hide and show the MDI child forms as shown in the code snippet below : // Consider the second MDI child // has to be hidden/shown // Hide MDI child this.f2.Hide(); this.f2.MdiParent = null; // Show MDI child this.f2.Show(); this.f2.MdiParent = this; Please refer to the test sample attached here, and let me know if this meets your requirements.

Hi Guru, I''ve downloaded your sample application and it doesn''t seem to work. What version of the tools is this designed with? >Hi Ken, > >You could hide and show the MDI child forms as shown in the code snippet below : > >// Consider the second MDI child >// has to be hidden/shown > >// Hide MDI child >this.f2.Hide(); >this.f2.MdiParent = null; > >// Show MDI child >this.f2.Show(); >this.f2.MdiParent = this; > >Please refer to the test sample attached here, and let me know if this meets your requirements.

Hi Hussein,

This sample was created using the latest source code build of Essential Suite. Thanks for creating Direct-Trac incident 12953 in this regard. I will update you there shortly. We appreciate your continued interest in Syncfusion.

Thanks Guru, that works well.
I did discover that if the f2.Show() call is put after the f2.MdiParent=this call, you avoid a screen flash that briefly shows the screen in its normal state (i.e. as if the MDITabbedManager was disconnected).

Hi Ken,

Thanks for the update, and also for sharing information regarding the order in which the Show method and MdiParent properties should be called/set. Please let me know if you need any other assistance. Thanks for choosing Syncfusion products.
