MDI child maximize problrm

I have a MDI parent which is to open a "Control Panel" style child when it
starts.

In the load event I have:
Private Sub frmMain_Load(By Val sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s) Handles MyBase.Load

Me.Text += Application.Pro ductVersion

fControl = fControl.GetIns tance() ' I am using a singleton pattern here

fControl.MdiPar ent = Me

fControl.Show()

End Sub

When the MDI Child is Maximized, when it is opened all I see is (what looks
like) the bottom right of the border (A blue line) and the MDI Child is
maximised according to the control buttons. If I restore it, then maximize
it agasin it is fine.

If I start it "Normal" then manually maximise it it is fine.

However if I set its FormWindowState to Maximize in the load event I cant
see it again.
I have searched Google but not found anything like it.
The only properties of the window that are not default are: Text, Name, Size
and WindowState
Any help appreciated
Andrew

I'm opening an mdi child form maximized. I've set the controlbox to false, the maximize button to false, the minimize button to false. Nevertheless, when the child form opens, it has a minimize, maximize and mid size (don't know what to call it) button - however, neither the maximize or minimize buttons work - but the mid zise does! How can I turn it off? Thanks for any help. Bernie Yaeger

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 FormBoarderStyle of the child form has no effect. Also, when the parent form's FormBoarderStyle 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...

Hi, I am aware that TransparencyKey only works with top-level forms or Non-MDI Child Forms, if one tries to set the opacity or transparencykey property to a MDI-Child form, it will have no effect. So, I tricked my Transparent Non-MDI Child form into my MDI-Container form via SetParent API as seen here in my VB.NET sample ( http://wuhenry.beigetower.org/position.zip ). I thought my problems are over, but apprently, even though I...

Hi I have a parent child forms. I want the close, maximize, and minimize buttons to be removed. One the child form I have set the maximize and minimize buttons to false.

I set an MDI child form to Windowstate=maximized at design time. When I new up and show the child form in the MDI parent, the child's title is hidden since it's pushed to far up (below parent tool bar). On the MDI parent, the resize icon is displayed in the top right. That means the child is maximized right? What doesn't it fill the parent container area? When I click the resize icon, the child then jumps to the parent center and...

I'm using .NET 2.0. I have an MDI app. When I create the first child form, it appears in the upper left part of the MDI parent. The MDI parent is larger than the child. I have the child set to maximize but it doesn't. When I click the maximize box (displayed on the MDI parent's toolbar for the child), the child still does not maximize. It moves close to the center of the parent instead and comes into full view. I can't ever maximize...

Assuming I have several child Forms open (not maximized) in my MDI Form, when I maximize any of them and then close it, all my other Forms automatically maximize. How come? Is there an easy solution for this? Thanks. VS2005 - Windows Forms

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

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,...
