Setting MDI Child Form Size to fill parent without maximising

Hi Al

How can I set the size of an mdi child form to fill the parent windows as if it was maximised without actually maximising the form as this causes all my subsequent child forms to be displayed maximised as well

I will still need the ability to minimise and restore but will disable the maximise option

Any ideas greatly appreciate

I am trying to add transactions to my code. The original code worked fine until I followed an example to setup transactions, now the code does strange things, but no error messages. Could someone please review my before and after code and tell me the proper way to add transactions to my code? Thanks, TD

I haven't been able to figure this out and would appreciate some help... I have two tables, both with autonumber primary keys, and linked in a conventional master-child relationship. I've created forms for both those tables, and inserted the child table form into the master table form as a subform. It works just as it is supposed to, in that I can create a new master record, and then add detail records.

I have a dataset that contains a parent table and a child table. A DataRelation exists between the two. I was under the impression from reading the VS docs that when I filled the parent table, the child table would be automatically filled with the child records. When I fill the parent, I limit the table to only a single record, so that all the records in the child table will belong to this parent. But when the Fill method is executed with...

For some reason, when I click the X to close my MDI parent form, the action appears to be re-directed to one of the MDI child forms, and the parent remains open. I am then unable to close the application. What should happen, is that the main MDI form should close, taking the child forms with it. There is code to loop through the child forms, remove the controls on each of them, and then close the form, but this code should execute only...

I am trying to open another MDI Child form (that is not currently open) from within another MDI Child. There is a "Next" button that should navigate to the next form in the series, and I cannot get this to work. With VB6, it would have been simple, but vb.NET is completely different. Basically, I have a function on the MDI Parent that should open the new child, that I am calling from the child currently open. This code executes...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: 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,...
