MDITile Method 111
Applies To: MDIClient

Description

This method causes the MDIClient object to organise its child Forms as a row or column. To permit the user to carry out this action, it is recommended that a suitable callback function or expression is attached to a MenuItem or Button. The callback function or expression should then call the MDITile method.

Note that because there are restrictions concerning the minimum height and width of a window, MS-Windows does not necessarily respond as requested. If the MDIClient is itself of insufficient size, or if it contains a large number of child Forms, Windows may choose to tile the Forms in a row when a column was specified or vice versa. It may also choose to ignore the event entirely.

The argument to MDITile is , or a single item as follows:

[1] Tile Mode 0 (vertical)
1 (horizontal)

If the argument is , the Tile Mode defaults to 0.
