  At first, you must write a clear title for your question, everyone here has questions, the second thing is you must explain your problem, you didn't said what is the problem...

  heh better title ^^^^
  
  Anyways, I can't think of a better way to describe my problem. But, here is the code that needs helped.
  
  Map^ newMDIChild = gcnew Map();
  newMDIChild.MDIParent = //That's what I don't know - the current form is an MDIChild too, so I Can't put 'this'
  newMDIChild->Show();

  In a MDI application you should only have one MDI parent, it has the IsMdiContainer property set to true.

  You can give an owner window in the Show method of a form.

  The parent must have IsMdiContainer set to true to be used a a MDI parent.

  Thanks
  
  Finished Code:
  
  Map^ newMDIChild = gcnew Map();
  newMDIChild->MDIParent = this->ParentForm;
  newMDIChild->Show();
  
  Works like a charm ;)
