Remarks

An MDI bar provides the control buttons and menu allowing an end-user to close, restore, minimize and switch between child MDI forms.

The AllowMdiBar property controls the visibility of an MDI bar when the following conditions are met:

• the current XtraForm is a parent form in an MDI application;
• the title bar skinning feature is enabled via the SkinManager.EnableFormSkins or SkinManager.EnableFormSkinsIfNotVista method.
• one of the MDI child forms is maximized.

If you’re using a BarManager or RibbonForm within the parent MDI XtraForm, there is no need to enable the AllowMdiBar option, as these components provide their own MDI bars.
