Can't maximize

Tony K

I have a Windows MDI app with child forms. When opening the child forms,
the child form is not maximized inside the parent form. What
property/setting am I missing?

The child form size opens with the settings for the "SIZE" property but I
also have the WindowState set to Maximized.

Thanks,
Tony K

I have run into this before.

Setting the property didnt actually work.

I had to do it by code prior to the show. That worked.
As of that moment I have made all my forms "hardcoded" to show it maximized.
I do not trust that property
under mdi.

fMain = New frmMain
fMain.MdiParent = Me
fMain.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized // This is
what I have hardcoded and resolved the issue.
fMain.Show()
