MDI Tab Code Sample

This sample code demonstrates how to create a MDI tab that displays report information rather than a view of the data. MDI windows must be added to a Custom Layout XML file before they will appear in the user interface.

This sample requires installation of the ArcFM Solution Software Developer Kit (SDK). You may need to change the existing installation in Add/Remove Programs to add Developer Resources.

Product Availability: ArcFM Viewer for ArcGIS Engine, Responder

A using statement is required for Miner.Windows.TabbedMdi.
Custom MDI tabs derive from MdiTabForm. Implement required ICreateData interface for persistence information.
The Key allows the framework to uniquely identify each instance of the tab.
This method allows the Key to be persisted to the .layout file.
