Cascade / Tile functionality in an MDI environment

[Suncaster]

Could someone point me to documentation on how to enable Cascading and Tiling functionality to the children of an MDI form in VB6? I'd like to create a full-blown _W_indow menu on my MDI form and I have found the WindowList property in the VB6 Menu Editor but I can't find anything regarding tiling and cascading MDI children in VB help. All I need is a push in the right direction. Thanks in advance!

The following example illustrates what you want:

Private Sub mnuWCascade_Click ()
   ' Cascade child forms.
   frmMDI.Arrange vbCascade
End Sub

Private Sub mnuWTile_Click ()
   ' Tile child forms (horizontal).
   frmMDI.Arrange vbTileHorizontal
End Sub

Private Sub mnuWArrange_Click ()
   ' Arrange all child form icons.
   frmMDI.Arrange vbArrangeIcons
End Sub

For more information look under the arrange method of the MDI form.
