hide mdi child form frame boarder, minimize and maximize buttons

[Paul Welter]

I'm building a MDI application that has child forms. I'm trying to find a
way to hide the inner boarder of the child frame area. Setting the
FormBoarderStyl e of the child form has no effect.

Also, when the parent form's FormBoarderStyl e is set to nothing, then the
child form is maximized, I get the minimize and maximize buttons at the top
of the parent from even though the boarder style is set to none for both
forms. How do I prevent this? How do I disable the minimize and maximize
buttons of the child form?

thanks
Paul

MDI child windows always have a sizable border, a max and min button and a
controlbox. Otherwise they weren't MDI child windows.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for you posting in the group!

Do you have tried Amal's solution yet?
I think it is just what you want except for the System.Windows. Forms
redundancy.
