mdi parents and childs

Hi everyone,

I got a problem with mdi parents and childs. I show a window this way:

VB Code:

Dim childWindow1 As New windowClass1
window.mdiparent=me
window.show()

It works fine unless there is another child window opened and maximized, when this happens the childWindow1 also maximizes itself although I want its windowState to be Normal.

Why does it maximize automatically if there is another child window openned and maximized? What can I do to fix this?

Thanks for your help.

Hi, I would have to say that this is normal behaviour on all MDI application I have used!

My problem is that sometimes my windows have a fixed size because I don't want them to be as big as they would be if maximized and then when I open them they still try to maximize and end up looking very bad, jus as if the application had crashed.
