TForm.Cascade Method

Arranges MDI child forms so they overlap.

Pascal

procedure Cascade;

C++

__fastcall Cascade();

Description

Use Cascade to arrange MDI child forms so they overlap.

Cascade 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 fsMDIForm. The others have their
FormStyle properties set to fsMDIChild and their Visible
properties set to true. Add a main menu component and name
one of the menu items MyCascade. This is code for the
MyCascadeClick handler.  When the user chooses the
Cascade command, restored forms are arranged
so that they overlap.  DO NOT name the menu items "Cascade"
as that will override the TForm method.
*/
void __fastcall TForm1::MyCascadeClick(TObject *Sender)
{
  Form1->Cascade();
}
