I am using docking and anchoring etc to allow the user to resize a data entry form at run time. I have set the minimum size at form load from the size of the form at that time so that the user cant resize it less than the size at load. However this works fine if the form is not an MDI child.

Once I set it as an MDI Child, it seems to ignore the Minimum size properties I have set and the user can resize it to a tiny little form with just a title bar. I have tried putting code in the Resize event but just causes so much flicker that its unworkable - have I overlooked something -does minimumsize not apply to MDI Child FOrms ??

any help would be appreciated

thanks BH
