Hi,

How do I center a MDI Child Form within its Parents Form?

Many Thanks

Does it not work when you set the child form's top and left
properties?

Me.Left = CInt((Me.ParentForm.Width - Me.Width) / 2)

Me.Top = CInt((Me.ParentForm.Height - Me.Height) / 2)

It would seem logical that the following would work:

Form1.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.CenterParent

But that places the chile form in the upper left hand
corner within the MDI form...

The following line, however, centers the child form in the
MDI parent:

Form1.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.CenterScreen
(Or set the StartPosition to CenterScreen in the
properties window.)
