top_level() [2/2]

virtual form & xtd::forms::form::top_level ( bool  top_level )

virtual

Sets a value indicating whether to display the form as a top-level window.

Returns

true to display the form as a top-level window; otherwise, false. The default is true.

Remarks

A Multiple-document interface (MDI) parent form must be a top-level window. So set to false has no effect.

A top-level form is a window that has no parent form, or whose parent form is the desktop window. Top-level windows are typically used as the main form in an application.
