Customize MDI in c#

In my project i have to run multi-interfaces at a time. I used isMdicontainer property. But problem is whole area is converted to MDI. Can i set boundaries for it,like in Photoshop(below menu-bar there is toolbar,below toolbar Mdi is appearing).

And I like the tab structure in Photoshop used to switch images. How can i introduce that into my project for switching between forms. I am using VS 2010, Doing project in C#(Win forms), net framework 3.5

Thanks in advance.

  • You can use container controls like Panels and Dock them to the side — this will reduce the area of the MDI child area.

    As far as tabs are concerned, that's a different beast than the MDI model. You can try Multi Document Interface (MDI) tab page browsing with C#
