Temporarily unparent a child form

To make a child form temporarily unparent it's MdiParent property has to be set as null and makes it visibility to false. Please refer the below code snippet which illustrates this:

//Unparent
hiddenForms.Add(form);
form.MdiParent = null;
//Reparent
form.MdiParent = this;
form.Show();

'Unparent
form.MdiParent = Nothing
form.Hide()
'Reparent
form.MdiParent = Me
form.Show()
