c# text editor

rancheros

creating a text editor in c# using mdi forms.
does any one have any code to add an explorer form to the project.
i.e when a new blank document is opened the name of this form is added to another form.
like in textpad

No homework questions. No expecting something to be done for you.

Is the 'Explorer' form supposed to show a list of open documents so ? You'll have to create your own really to suit your own needs but it should be fairly easy, just add something like a listview or a combobox (in the non-dropdown kind of mode) control to it and dock it to 'fill'. Then when you open/close a form create and add the appropriate listviewitem or comboboxitem to it, or remove the existing one. Altough I'd prefer to just add the listview/combobox to the main mdi parent form and dock it to one of the sides.
