CascadeWindows Method

Causes all MDI child windows to be cascaded within the client region of the MDI parent form.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Sub CascadeWindows() 
public void CascadeWindows()
Remarks

Invoking this method arranges the MDI child forms in cascaded order within the MDI parent form's window. Cascading resizes and re-arranges the forms in order, taking into account the amount of space available in the MDI parent's client area. Each form is offset to the right and down from the previous one. Only the topmost form in the z-order is completely visible, but the title bars of all forms are easily accessible.

Example
The following code demonstrates how to call methods on the MdiWindowListTool to manipulate MDI child windows.

Imports System.Diagnostics
Imports Infragistics.Win
Imports Infragistics.Win.UltraWinSchedule

	Private Sub Button27_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button27.Click

		' The MdiWindowListTool provides a number of methods for manipulating
		' MDI child windows.  These methods only have meaning when the MdiWindowList
		' tool is defined in an UltraToolbarsManager component that resides on a
		' form which has its IsMdiContainer property set to true.


		If Me.UltraToolbarsManager1.Tools.Exists("MyMdiWindwListTool") AndAlso _
		   Me.UltraToolbarsManager1.Tools("MyMdiWindwListTool").GetType() Is GetType(MdiWindowListTool) Then

			' Get a reference an mdi Window list tool
			Dim mdiWindowList As MdiWindowListTool = Me.UltraToolbarsManager1.Tools("MyMdiWindwListTool")

			' Call the ArrangeIcons method to arrange the MDI child windows when they

			' windows.

			' Call the RefreshWindowList method to refresh the contents of the window
			' list.

			' Call the TileWindowsHorizontally method to tile all currently open MDI child
			' windows horizontally.
