TForm.Tile Method

Arranges MDI child forms so that they are all the same size.

Pascal

procedure Tile;

C++

__fastcall Tile();

Description

Use Tile to arrange MDI child forms so that they are all the same size. Tiled forms completely fill up the client area of the parent form. How the forms arrange themselves depends upon the values of their TileMode properties.

Tile works only if the form is an MDI parent form (that is, if the form's FormStyle property is fsMDIForm).

C++ Examples:

Copy Code

/*
This example uses three forms. The first form has its
FormStyle property set to MDIForm. The other two have their
FormStyle properties set to MDIChild and their Visible
properties set to true. Add a main menu component and name
one of the menu items TileForms. This is code for the
TileFormsClick handler.  When the user chooses the TileForms
command, the child forms tile vertically within the MDI frame
form.
*/
void __fastcall TForm1::TileFormsClick(TObject *Sender)
{
  TileMode = tbVertical;
  Tile();
}
