Question

I would like to request people to give me inputs on how to show a background image in a winforms MDI Application.

I understand that it is possible through the MDI form.

Any inputs on how to go about it would be welcome.

Thanks so much

Winforms doesn’t give you direct access to the MDI client window. You have to find it, like this:

    protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e) {
        foreach (Control ctl in this.Controls) {
            if (ctl is MdiClient) {
                ctl.BackgroundImage = Properties.Resources.SampleImage;
                break;
            }
        }
        base.OnLoad(e);
    }
