Standard windowstate

Gav
Hi All,

I would like my mdichild forms to be all of the same windowstate but I don't
want to force them to be one way or another. I would like them to start as
maximised but then if the user changes it to normal, then obviously I don't
want to force maximised the next time (it would be very annoying for the
user). I could just force the first window to be maximised and ignore the
rest that are opened but how will I know which form will be opened first? Is
there an easier way around this?

Thanks
Gav

PS I did think of setting a variable at the top level but there doesn't
appear to be a event fired for maximise.
