Not sure if this is the way it's supposed to be, but after a Layout
event on an MDI form, the form's new width is set, but the MDIClient's
width is not.
As an example, start a new Windows Application, and for the code use:
Public Class Form1
Dim TextBox1, TextBox2, TextBox3 As New TextBox
Dim The_MDIClient As MdiClient
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVa l sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s) Handles MyBase.Load
Me.IsMdiContain er = True
Me.Height = 600
TextBox1.Locati on = New System.Drawing. Point(1, 1)
TextBox2.Locati on = New System.Drawing. Point(71, 1)
TextBox3.Locati on = New System.Drawing. Point(121, 1)
TextBox1.Size = New System.Drawing. Size(70, Me.Height - 50)
TextBox2.Size = New System.Drawing. Size(50, Me.Height - 50)
TextBox3.Size = New System.Drawing. Size(50, Me.Height - 50)
TextBox1.Multil ine = True
TextBox2.Multil ine = True
TextBox3.Multil ine = True
Me.Controls.Add (TextBox1)
Me.Controls.Add (TextBox2)
Me.Controls.Add (TextBox3)
For Each Current_Control As Control In Me.Controls
If TypeOf Current_Control Is MdiClient Then The_MDIClient =
Current_Control
Next
End Sub
Sub Show_Width(ByVa l Sub_Name As String)
If The_MDIClient Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
TextBox1.Text += Mid$(Sub_Name, 7) + vbCrLf
TextBox2.Text += The_MDIClient.C lientRectangle. Width.ToString +
vbCrLf
TextBox3.Text += Me.ClientRectan gle.Width.ToStr ing + vbCrLf
End Sub
Private Sub Form1_ResizeBeg in(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s) Handles Me.ResizeBegin
Show_Width(Syst em.Reflection.M ethodBase.GetCu rrentMethod.Nam e)
End Sub
Private Sub Form1_Resize(By Val sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s) Handles Me.Resize
Show_Width(Syst em.Reflection.M ethodBase.GetCu rrentMethod.Nam e)
End Sub
Private Sub Form1_ResizeEnd (ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s) Handles Me.ResizeEnd
Show_Width(Syst em.Reflection.M ethodBase.GetCu rrentMethod.Nam e)
End Sub
Private Sub Form1_Layout(By Val sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Windows. Forms.LayoutEve ntArgs) Handles Me.Layout
Show_Width(Syst em.Reflection.M ethodBase.GetCu rrentMethod.Nam e)
End Sub
End Class
Then resize.
Is this how it should be?
Also, is the MDIClient always the same amount less than the MDI form
itself? In this case, MDIClient.width is 4 less than Me.Width. If this
is constant, i can grab the difference in the Load event and in the
Layout event refer to Me.Width - whatever the difference is to get the
not-yet-updated MDIClient.Width .

I think i found what to do.
After locating the MDIClient, i can use AddHandler to handle the layout
event of the MDIClient, and at that point, the width is known.

To be specific, new Windows Application, go to form code, and paste
this:
Public Class Form1
Dim TextBox1, TextBox2, TextBox3 As New TextBox
Dim The_MDIClient As MdiClient
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVa l sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s) Handles MyBase.Load
Me.IsMdiContain er = True
Me.Height = 600
TextBox1.Locati on = New System.Drawing. Point(1, 1)
TextBox2.Locati on = New System.Drawing. Point(101, 1)
TextBox3.Locati on = New System.Drawing. Point(151, 1)
TextBox1.Size = New System.Drawing. Size(100, Me.Height - 50)
TextBox2.Size = New System.Drawing. Size(50, Me.Height - 50)
TextBox3.Size = New System.Drawing. Size(50, Me.Height - 50)
TextBox1.Multil ine = True
TextBox2.Multil ine = True
TextBox3.Multil ine = True
Me.Controls.Add (TextBox1)
Me.Controls.Add (TextBox2)
Me.Controls.Add (TextBox3)
For Each Current_Control As Control In Me.Controls
If TypeOf Current_Control Is MdiClient Then
The_MDIClient = Current_Control
AddHandler The_MDIClient.L ayout, AddressOf
MDIClient_Layou t
AddHandler The_MDIClient.R esize, AddressOf
MDIClient_Resiz e
End If
Next
End Sub
Sub Show_Width(ByVa l Sub_Name As String)
If The_MDIClient Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
TextBox1.Text += Sub_Name + vbCrLf
TextBox2.Text += The_MDIClient.C lientRectangle. Width.ToString +
vbCrLf
TextBox3.Text += Me.ClientRectan gle.Width.ToStr ing + vbCrLf
End Sub

System.EventArg s) Handles Me.ResizeBegin
Show_Width(Syst em.Reflection.M ethodBase.GetCu rrentMethod.Nam e)

Private Sub Form1_Resize(By Val sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s) Handles Me.Resize
Show_Width(Syst em.Reflection.M ethodBase.GetCu rrentMethod.Nam e)
End Sub
Private Sub Form1_ResizeEnd (ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s) Handles Me.ResizeEnd
Show_Width(Syst em.Reflection.M ethodBase.GetCu rrentMethod.Nam e)

Is there a way to place controls on the surface of MdiClient and have it
always stay in the background when new child forms are loaded into the MDI?
When I place controls on the surface of an MDI app and load child forms, the
controls place on the surface poke through the child form.
In the MDI paradigm, is it not wise/proper to use the MdiClient as a
controls surface?

I'm developing an MDI application and i am having a problem: how do i

maximized, then if i change it's state to Normal and close, then next
opened MDI child screen will have state Normal.
So i assume that MdiClient keeps state of MDI child windows even if none

Is there any way to change or turn off the border of an

border that custom draw so I can control the color of the border.
Thanks for any help!

Is it possible to find the size of the MDIClient area, excluding the space

I have thought I could perhaps create a new control, set it's Dock property
to Fill and see how big that is, but there must be a better way. I would
have to do this in the Resize event
