  Please be explicit when you say "doesn't work properly".

  This will happen when you don't make the form an MDI child and don't set the owner. Use the Show() method overload that takes the owner argument. For example:
  
  private void toolStripButton2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
  Form2 f2 = new Form2();
  f2.Show(this);
  }
  
  If you call this from an MDI child window, pass "this.MdiParent" instead.

  I have one Main Windows which consists of ToolStripMenu, i can link to another form called form2 from the ToolStripMenu. There is another button in form2, which it is used to link to form3, but i want to set the form2 as a child under Main Windows so it can be minimized and maximized together under one form. I tried to achieve it using the following code but it doesn't work. Nothing is shown out when i click on it, may i know why Thank you.

   

  Dim child As New form2

  form2.MdiParent = Main_Windows

  form2.Show()

  hi I have tried this example that contain two form
  parent form contain maun can generate a child form
  namespace WindowsApplication2
  {
  public partial class MDI_M : Form
  {
  public MDI_M()
  {
  InitializeComponent();
  }
  private void addToolStripMenuItem1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
  {
  Child cd = new Child();
  cd.MdiParent = this;
  cd.Show();
  }
  }
  }
  and the child form contain one button while click can pop another child form:
  namespace WindowsApplication2
  {
  public partial class Child : Form
  {
  public Child()
  {
  InitializeComponent();
  
  }
  
  private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
  {
  Child cd2 = new Child();
  cd2.MdiParent = this.MdiParent;
  cd2.Show();
  }
  }
  }
