Syntax
public class MdiListBarItem : ListBarItem, IChangeNotifyingItem, ICustomTypeDescriptor, IDataBindingSupport, ISerializable, ICloneable
Remarks

You would typically use this item as a child in the Window submenu in the main menu bar of a MainFrameBarManager. When its parent is dropped down, this item will be replaced by the list of MDI children currently being shown and optionally a "Windows..." item to show the whole list when the number of children is more than 10 (or as specified in the MdiListSize property.

When the user clicks on one of the entries, the corresponding mdi child will be activated. Clicking on the "Windows..." item will open a dialog where the users can see all the available MDI child windows.

Examples
