Whats new in V1.0.0.25:

• Fixed: Accessing forms through the ExForms collection using the Index will cause form terminate event not to be fired

Whats new in V1.0.0.24:

• Changed: Control does not show the message box when MDI parent form cannot be found. This allows use of forms with the MDIExtender control without the MDI parent form
• Changed: The firing order of Form Unload event improved
• Fixed: When MDIExtender is used in combination with container tab control that is shipping with VB in design-time, when tab control has focus, and menu short-cut key is pressed program would enter dead-lock in Form's KeyDown event

How MDIExtender helps you develop better object oriented applications?

Problem: Visual Basic makes it very easy to create ActiveX DLL's. You can separate your application into different components and make it easier to maintain, upgrade and troubleshoot. Unfortunately you cannot store the MDI Child Forms into the ActiveX DLL's so your components are not self-contained and cannot be simply plugged into the application.

Solution:The MDIExtender Component. Simple to use, just drop it on the form and your MDI Child Forms can be used in ActiveX DLL's. Your components are now self-contained and can be upgraded and developed without affecting the rest of your application.

Problem: Your application is huge. Team of developers is developing different modules and components. But still they are working on both the main application executable and their components because you cannot have MDI Child Forms in ActiveX DLL's.

Solution: The MDIExtender Component will let you take full advantage of modular application development. No code is required to start using MDI Child Forms from ActiveX DLL's.
