I have an MDI application. I can't change backcolor of my MDI form, though in Property eindow, it looks changed but in reality the color remains same. Can someone tell me how can I change my MDIContainer form's back color?

When I place a Picture Box with Dock property set to Fill on an MDI from, and then click a menu item to open a child form, the child form opens but it doesn't display, but goes behind the PictureBox. How can I show my child forms?
The same is the case for Flash Movie object (as picturebox).

Regards

Hello Hamidawan,
 This is solution of ur 1st problem to set Backcolor of MDI.
================================================== =========
'Call the method that changes the background color.
    Private Sub SetBackGroundColorOfMDIForm() '' setting back color of mdi
        Dim ctl As Control
               ' Loop through controls,
        ' looking for controls of MdiClient type.
        For Each ctl In Me.Controls
            If TypeOf (ctl) Is MdiClient Then
                ' If the control is the correct type,
                ' change the color.
                ctl.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.PaleGreen
                ' ctl.Font = myFontDialog.Font
            End If
        Next

    End Sub
================================================== =========
