MDIWindowListITem Not Working

Hi,

This one has really got me stumped. I have certain forms that are being instantiated. When I instantiate a form i make it a child of the mdi form by

form1.MdiParent = this;

I have set the MDIWindowListITem property of my menustrip to a toolstripmenuitem

However this toolstripmenuitem does not show the mdi child form when it is instantiated

Does any one have any ideas on this?

Any inputs/ leads / hints would be most welcome. I am using .net framework 3.5

Regards

Hi Thanks! But I don't think that is required. Just setting the MDIWindowListitem property of the menustrip control should be enough. The designer should take care of the rest.but anyway thanks for your inputs. I will go through the MSDN link you sent to me

@bornagaindeveloper - I've popped up some code. You need to make sure that your MDI child windows have their Text value set as this is what is displayed in the drop down list. Also they do not appear until their Show() method has been called.
