This child must be a Form that is marked as an MDI Child to be added to the container. You should not call this directly, but rather set the child form's (ctl) MDIParent property:

// incorrect  
Form child = new ChildForm();  
this.getMdiClient().add(child);  
// correct  
Form child = new ChildForm();  
child.setMdiParent(this);
