Window or tab size problem - Visual Basic .NET

Samuel

The application is MDI, as soon as the application loads I create a new
child window (maximized), within the child window there is a tab control
almost the size of the child window

The problem is that when the application first loads the top of the tab
control is hidden and it seems as though the header part of the tab control
is not taken into account as far as location or sizing the control (the
control is anchored on all sides). It is only located and sized properly
once the windows is resized (either by sizing the window or by maximizing
minimizing etc.)

Any explanation or info about a related BUG

Thank you,
Samuel

I have pasted my answer below ( newsgroup - search for "From Miro" and
subject is RE: MDI Forms"

anyway here it is with the solution that worked for someone else as well.

This happend to me....
Are you using the Property to maximize? or doing it by code?

If you notice, it is actually showing you the form the exact size it is in
development mode.

Try to show the form maximized thru code

fMain = New frmMain
fMain.WindowSta te = FormWindowState .Maximized
fMain.Show()
and leave the windowstate "Normal" on the property of the form.

Compile...
it should work,

Now if you get rid of the code, and change your property back to show
"maximized" it should work.

After I ran into this...i always show all my forms maximized thru code (
like above ) and leave all my forms "Normal", and it has never happend
since.

Secondary window won't resize

Body tag preventing 'window.open' from executing

by: alanstew | last post by:

With the body tag calling out 'window onload', a function with a 'window.open' fails at the 'window.open' line. If I cut out the body tag, the function executes as normal. At first I thought it was the entire function failing, but I tested with alerts and found that it was only the 'window.open' that fails to execute. The function is being called by a link, and I suspected some problem with the body alink/vlink but after cutting that out...

Window Resize

by: Peter | last post by:

I would like to automatically resize a window to its content. I was thinking of using an outer table to detect the size of my content, then use window.resizeTo( ). The problem is I'm not sure how I can determine the size of what I think is referred to as the 'chrome' - the window borders, toolbars, etc. Is there a way to determine the height and width of the chrome so that I can supply the correct parameters to the resizeTo method?

Opening image in new window without padding

Can I make this happen with a single call to a window.open function? I would prefer not to create a separate HTML page. So far all I have is the basic var cwin = window.open('images/KJV-THANKS.gif', 'Thanks', 'width=243,height=420,'); cwin.focus();
