Hi,
I'm developing an MDI application and i am having a problem: how do i
know the state of MdiClient; what i mean is: when i maximize a MDI
child, then close it and then open a new MDI child, it will open
maximized, then if i change it's state to Normal and close, then next
opened MDI child screen will have state Normal.
So i assume that MdiClient keeps state of MDI child windows even if none
of child forms exists at the moment. How do i find that?
Thank you,
MuZZy

MuZZy,
Why not check the WindowState property of the child form itself?
Hope this helps.

Hi Nicholas,
Thanks for your response.
At the time i need to check the state, there are no child forms - all of
them are closed. My point is that MDIClient somehow preserves a state of
the last MDIchild and i need to find out how and where.
Thank you,
MuZZy

Why don't you hook to the Closing event of every child form you're showing?
Then, in the event handler, store the window's FormWindowState somewhere
and there you go.

Well, there should be some natural approach to that and i want to find it.
Hi MuZZy,
I do not think there is a build-in way to do this. Mehdi's suggestion
should be a suitable workaround. Do you have any concern regarding using
it?
Best regards,
Jeffrey Tan

Windows API not my strong point... can anyone give me the idiots guide

Actually, it would also be pretty cool if i could trap a MDIClient

Is there a way to place controls on the surface of MdiClient and have it
always stay in the background when new child forms are loaded into the MDI?
When I place controls on the surface of an MDI app and load child forms, the
controls place on the surface poke through the child form.
In the MDI paradigm, is it not wise/proper to use the MdiClient as a
controls surface?

Hello. I hope you are all well.
I've been trying to get the text from an MDICLIENT window (recognised
by SPY++ as 'WindowsForms10.MDICLIENT.app3').
When i try to get the text using SendMessage(WM_GETTEXT), or good old
GetText(), i get an empty string returned. Eh?
Spy++ doesn't seem to get the text either. Do i need to use some
WM_MDI* type messages or did MS leave out the handling of that message
for MDI forms? Im using Visual Studio...

Not sure if this is the way it's supposed to be, but after a Layout
event on an MDI form, the form's new width is set, but the MDIClient's
width is not.
As an example, start a new Windows Application, and for the code use:
Public Class Form1
Dim TextBox1, TextBox2, TextBox3 As New TextBox
Dim The_MDIClient As MdiClient

Is there any way to change or turn off the border of an
Windows.Forms.MdiClient control? In my opinion the 3D bevel that the control
uses is outdated and looks poor in my app. The best would be a single line
border that custom draw so I can control the color of the border.
Thanks for any help!

Is it possible to find the size of the MDIClient area, excluding the space
already used by docked controls?
I have thought I could perhaps create a new control, set it's Dock property
to Fill and see how big that is, but there must be a better way. I would
have to do this in the Resize event
TIA

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
