IsMdiContainer = True

Dim crf As ChildRibbonForm = New ChildRibbonForm

crf.MdiParent = Me

crf.Text = "MDI Child Form (Type 3)"

crf.ChildType = 3 ' what is this parameter? Where I can find help file for this?

crf.Show()

I don't know anything about the ChildRibbonForm class and
the ChildType property. Both things seem to be not related
to C1Ribbon.

Hi Andrey

You can find this code in the attached file that i loaded with the folowing link:

http://download3.componentone.com/pub/Net/c1ribbon/misc/RibbonAppVB.zip

This is a very good example, however the child ribbon form is just one form with multiple instances. The solution that i'm building has many forms and i have not been able replace the folow code with the different forms that could be loaded at one time by the user.

Dim f As ChildRibbonForm = Nothing

If TypeOf forms(i) Is ChildRibbonForm Then

f = CType(forms(i), ChildRibbonForm)

End If

 Please excuse my english.

Thanks for your help,

Regards,

Hi Raul,

I have just updated the RibbonAppVB sample on the download3 site:

http://download3.componentone.com/pub/Net/c1ribbon/misc/RibbonAppVB.zip

The previous version of this sample was actually not a sample. It was
a bug-tracking project not indended for public using.

You may inherit each of your forms from the ChildRibbonForm class.
The only difference between the ChildRibbonForm and the C1RibbonForm
classes is in the next code fragment (see ChildRibbonForm.Designer.vb file):
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Partial Class ChildRibbonForm
Inherits C1.Win.C1Ribbon.C1RibbonForm

' This variable allows to exclude the window that is being disposed from the MDI Window List.
Friend BeingDisposed As Boolean = False

' Form overrides dispose to clean up the component list.
_
Protected Overrides Sub Dispose(ByVal disposing As Boolean)

BeingDisposed = True

If disposing AndAlso components IsNot Nothing Then
....
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here we define the BeingDisposed friend field that is used in the
RefreshMdiWindowList() method of the MDI parent form class.
