I have a MDI Container form called Desktop, and when I open a form from the menu I set oForm.MdiParent = oDesktop, and the form stays inside the desktop. All is well.

private void barInventory_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
	// Create an instance of the user list
	frmItemList oItemList = new frmItemList();
	
	// Make the user list a child of the desktop
	oItemList.MdiParent = this;

	// Show the form
	oItemList.Show();
}

This works great.


But when the Inventory List form opens the Inventory Item form, I'm not sure what to set its MdiParent to. The 'this' keyword inside the inventory list is a reference to that form, not the desktop.
