MdiContainerForm Property

Returns the MDI container form associated with this MDIWindowListTool or null if there is no MDI container form.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public ReadOnly Property MdiContainerForm As Form
public Form MdiContainerForm {get;}
Remarks

The MDIWindowListTool automatically displays a list of a all the MDI child windows inside a given MDI container (parent form.) Use this property to specify the MDI container the MDIWindowListTool will interact with when creating its list of child windows and interacting with MDI child forms.

Example
The following code processes each toolbar defined to the Toolbars Manager and iterates through each toolbar's tools displaying tool properties as it goes.
