(C++ CLX) TForm

The Component you put all others on. Without any others on it, it is an empty window. Can be found in QForms.hpp.

Multiple TForms

To have multiple (non-parent) TForms in your program, do (using default names):

Create an Application (called Project1 with Unit1 and Form1)
Create a new Form (called Unit2 and Form2)
Save all in the same directory under their default names
Select Form1
Select 'Project | Add to Project | Unit2.cpp'
Select 'File | Include Unit Hdr | Unit2'

Now you can type, e.g. under an OnClick event:

  Form2->Show();

MDI Interface

MDI is an abbreviation of Multiple Documents Interface. It is nearly the same as above to create:

To have multiple MDIChild TForms in your program, do

Create an Application (called Project1 with Unit1 and Form1)
Set Form1's FormStyle to fsMDIForm
Create a new Form (called Unit2 and Form2)
Set Form2's FormStyle to fsMDIChild
Save all in the same directory under their default names
Select Form1
Select 'Project | Add to Project | Unit2.cpp'
Select 'File | Include Unit Hdr | Unit2'

Now you can type, e.g. under an OnClick event:

  Form2->Show();
