I am trying to build an application with the frmMain as the MDI parent and unlimited MDI child forms that will launch web browsers inside of them.. i have set my frmMain to IsMdiContainer = true so now how do i build child forms inside it?

OK.

Lets say Form1 is your MDI parent, and form2 is the child window you wanty to use.
#

Dim frmChild as new Form2
frmChild.MdiParent=Form1
frmchild.show()

You may want to keep a global variable to hold the form. This always has only one instance of that form type and prevents the user from opening unlimited forms

In the parent form:

private MyForm as frmFormExample

then when you instantiate the form:

if MyForm is nothing orelse MyForm.IsDisposed then

MyForm = new frmFormExample
MyForm.MdiParent = Me

else

MyForm.FormState = Normal

end if

MyForm.Show()
