MDI child maximize problrm

[Andrew Baker]

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(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

Me.Text += Application.ProductVersion

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

fControl.MdiParent = 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
