Creating 4 window quadrants in an MDI

Hi there,

I'm new to the MDI functionality and wanted to know if there is a way
to subdivide an MDI into 4 separate quadrants where when a window in
one quadrant is maximized it will only fill the quadrant and not the
rest of the MDI.

It would be a bonus if there where a way to have a vertical splitter to
subdivide the MDI in half and two horizontal splitters to subdivide the
halves into quarters.

Any ideas?

Thx
G.

There is nothing like that in the built-in Windows MDI framework. It sounds
like though that it's not really MDI that you're after. Instead, what about
creating UserControls that would contain whatever you would have put in
your child winodws and then place them you your main form the way you want
to separated by Splitter controls? You'll have to play a bit with the
Docking of all that to get the desired behaviour but it should be
straitforward enough.
