Child form screen truncation

[seash]

Hi
my application is an MDI application , when i call a child form like this

objchild = new frm();
objchild.MdiPar ent = this;
objchild.Show() ;

the child screen in the container gets a truncation in its area, i got couple of textboxs and buttons along with a tab control
on the child form.

seash,

I assume that the truncation is the result of the form being too small.
Before you call the Show method on the child form, set the Size property (or
the Height and Width properties) to a value where the controls will not be
truncated, and then show the form.

Hope this helps.

Hi Nicholas Paldin
thanks for your reply
Yes, you are right, but my problem is not this
I have a form which is small enough to be shown on the screen but not able to view whole page
All the controls on the page are getting resize eventhough I haven't placed any resize code
This problem arises when i put
objchild.MdiPar ent = this
if i take off the above code, then my form works asusual
Please let me know if any have any alternative solutions for this
Thank
Seas
