Question:

When I try to close an MDI child form, it only minimizes. How can I make it close when the user clicks on the 'close' icon?

Answer:

Indeed by default MDI children are minimized instead of closed. You can override this by defining a OnClose event like the following:

	procedure TMDIForm1.FormClose(Sender: TObject, var Action: TCloseAction); begin Action := caFree; end;
