TForm.ArrangeIcons Method

Arranges the icons of minimized MDI child forms.

Pascal

procedure ArrangeIcons;

C++

__fastcall ArrangeIcons();

Description

Use ArrangeIcons to arrange the icons of minimized MDI child forms so they are evenly spaced and don't overlap.

ArrangeIcons 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 several forms. The first form has its
FormStyle property set to MDIForm. The others 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 MyArrangeIcons. This is code for the
MyArrangeIconsClick handler.  When the user chooses the
ArrangeIcons command, minimized child forms are arranged
so that they are evenly spaced and don't overlap.  DO NOT
name the menu items "ArrangeIcons" as that will override
the TForm method.
*/
void __fastcall TForm1::MyArrangeIconsClick(TObject *Sender)
{
  Form1->ArrangeIcons();
}
