mdi form

[liu]

i have 1 mdi parent form as frmMDI and 3 mdi child form as frmMain,
frmChild1, frmChild2

the frmMain form is the main form for my child mdi, i want to make it
maximxize and cant be resize or change it, isit can be done and how???

and the othe problem is, during the form load of my parent mdi, i load the
frmMain form and set it to maximize, and in the frmMain form, i call the
frmChild1. the frmChild1 will automatically set to maximize when it loads.
can i load it in normal windows and not follow the frmMain???

thanks

hi liu,

YOu have properties for the form named "Maximizebox", "minimizeBox",
"ControlBox"
Play around with those to get what you want.

Not getting exactly what you want for the second question, as far as i get
you right, a child window can open only inside another MDI parent window.

thanks for your reply.
I tried the properties as you mentioned, but they are not what i want.
what i want is, i want to use 1 of my child mdi as a base form, which is
cannot resize, it will always in maximized state.

The other thing i found is,let say, i open 5 child mdi form, and i maximized
1 of them, the other 4 child mdi will be maximized also. how to or is there a
way to avoid this?

i really hope that i can always set my base form, which is 1 of my child mdi
form as a main form, which will be always in maximized state, and every time
i call other child mdi from the main form, the child mdi will not be open in
maximized window state. i really don't want this.

Please let me know whether this can be done or not, or this is a bug in
vb.net.
if this cannot be done, then i cant use the mdi form anymore.

Thanks a lot
