Hi Hertfried,
I've used Infragistics UltraTabbedMdiManager.
If I use a control like this, my child windows are handled fine except I
don't want tab strip tabs showing - the reason is I have a status bar that
shows which child windows are loaded and this works fine and looks much
better than a tab strip.
If I don't use the MdiManager control and simply load maximized child forms,
I see the child form frame for a second before the screen updates, and I
also see the form header for a fraction of a secon when switching forms -
this does not look very good or professional. (I'm using Windows XP so this
may make a difference).
Regards,
Merlin

* "Merlin" <iM*****@hotmail.com> scripsit: Does anyone have any examples or controls for a Tabbed MDI Application
Interface whereby the child windows can never be minimized or maximized.
The problem I'm having is I have tried third party controls that perform
this task but they insist on showing tabs to switch between child forms.
I want to switch through code and don't want tabs showing because I don't
have enough screen real estate for them to fit. If I simply work with
maximized forms I get an anoying situation where the form border appears for a
second before it fills the client space.
Which components did you test?
