The form that is the visual parent of this form.
[Visual Basic] Overridable Public ReadOnly Property ParentForm As Form [C#] public Form ParentForm {override get;} [C++] public: __property virtual Form* get_ParentForm(); [JScript] public function get ParentForm() : Form;
A Form that represents the form that is hosting the current form within its client area.
A parented form is displayed within the client area of a another form. Unlike a multiple document interface (MDI) child form, a paranted form does not have the features such as merged menus or the ability to cascade or tile the parented forms. To parent a form within another form, use the System.WinForms.Control.Add method.
A parented form can be used as tool windows or complex toolboxes within your applications.
Note In order to parent a form to another the form being parented must have its TopLevel property set to false.
