Override default MDI behavoir

[Eyvind W Axelsen]

Hi.

I am creating an application (primarily in C#), with MDI child windows. What
I would like to do, is to override the default behavoir that makes a newly
createad child form maximized if the topmost childform that already exists
is also maximized. Furthermore, if I maximize one form, I don't want all the
other forms to be maximized, and the same thing goes for 'restoring' forms
to their original size.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Eyvind.

Eyvind,

When you create a midi you tell
frm.mdiparent = me

You can use that mdiparent forever in your mdi.
By instance by seting it to maximises.

As well can you use in a form forever the mdichildren to see what is the
status of a mdi child.

I hope this helps,

Cor,

I am aware of the things you mention, however, this is not what my question
was about. Allow me to try to rephrase the question:

When an MDI child form is maximized inside an MDI container form, and
another MDI child form is opened, the new MDI child form is by default
maximized as well. Is there a way to override this default behavior?

Thanks,

Eyvind.
