Sets a value that determines whether the toolbars of an object on an MDI child form are displayed on the MDIForm when the object on the MDI child form is active. Not available at run time.
Settings
The NegotiateToolbars property has these settings:
| Setting | Description |
| True | (Default) The MDIForm object displays the toolbars of the active object on the top or bottom of the MDIForm. The active object determines whether the toolbars are displayed at the top or bottom of the MDIForm. |
| False | The toolbars of the active object either aren't displayed at all or are displayed as floating tool palettes, as determined by the active object. |
Remarks
Use the NegotiateToolbars property when creating a multiple-document interface (MDI) application that includes objects on MDI child forms. With this property, you determine how the active object displays its toolbars. By setting this property to True, the MDIForm shares (or negotiates) space at the top or bottom of the form to display the toolbars of the active object.
If the MDIForm also contains a toolbar, use the Negotiate property to determine how the various toolbars share the available space.
