TForm.TileMode Property

Represents how MDI child forms are arranged when the Tile method is called.

Pascal

property TileMode: TTileMode;

C++

__property TTileMode TileMode;

Description

TileMode can have one of the following TTileMode values:

Value	Meaning
tbHorizontal	Each form stretches across the width of the parent form
tbVertical	Each form stretches along the height of the parent form

TileMode is meaningful only if the form is an MDI child (that is, if the form's FormStyle property is set to fsMDIChild).

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();
}
