We get the behavior described by Jeff using dImage.
In fact, we created the form using ClassDesigner as dForm, and then edited
the cdxml, changing dForm to dFormMain. We then achieved MDI, but the main
form background picture gets "erased" by anything appearing in front of
it, including menus. (Running the same form as dForm, the background behaves
correctly, expanding when the form is expanded, etc.)
Here's the cdxml for the converted main form:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="cp1252" standalone="no"?>
<dFormMain code-ID="dForm-top" Name="RandP" Caption="Rubin &&
Poor, Inc." SaveRestorePosition="False" Top="99" Height="821" Width="968"
designerClass="DesForm" Left="276">
<dSizer SlotCount="1" designerClass="LayoutSizer" Orientation="Vertical">
<dPanel sizerInfo="{'HAlign': 'Left', 'VAlign': 'Top'}"
designerClass="controlMix">
<dSizer SlotCount="1" designerClass="LayoutSizer" Orientation="Vertical">
<dImage RegID="imgMainSplash"
Picture="path://..\..\..\..\..\..\..\i:\share\python\dabo\projects\runs2\ui\title.bmp"
ScaleMode="Clip"
designerClass="controlMix" sizerInfo="{'VAlign': 'Middle'}"></dImage>
</dSizer>
</dPanel>
</dSizer>
</dFormMain>
