    public void Viewchild(Form _form)
    {
        //Check Before Open
        if (!IsFormActive(_form))
        {
            _form.MdiParent = this;
            _form.Show();
        }
    }
    //Check If a Form Is Opened Already
    private bool IsFormActive(Form form)
    {
        bool IsOpened = false;
        //If There Is More Than One Form Opened
        if (MdiChildren.Count() > 0)
        {
            foreach (var item in MdiChildren)
            {
                if (form.Name == item.Name)
                {
                    // Active This Form
                    xtraTabbedMdiManager1.Pages[item].MdiChild.Activate();
                    IsOpened = true;
                }
            }
        }
        return IsOpened;
    }

open form in Master.frmBranch fb = new Master.frmBranch(); fb.Name = "frmBranch";

I suggedt you start from the How to: Display Documents Using a Tabbed UI example. The main idea of this example is that you can add the DocumentManager onto the form and then handle a treelist item's Click to add all needed child forms as MDI-children - the DocumentManager will track all the changes automatically:

Form childForm = new Form();
childForm.MdiParent = this;
childForm.Show();

To read more about the another Document Manager concepts and features please refer to the corresponding documentation articles.
