MDIChild from MDIChild - Showing Maximized Issue

Hi all,

I have an MDIChild that I am showing in maximized view which is fine; however, when I click on a button on this maximized MDIChild, it is supposed to show another MDIChild (look-up screen) which should be showing in Normal state and CenterParent, but the problem I am having is that the MDIChild lookup screen is also showing in maximized state instead of normal state. I have attempted many things (like setting dock = none) and it doesn't make a difference. Any ideas?

From the MainForm

vb Code:

Private Sub Accounting_BankReconciliation_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
                                                    ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Accounting_BankReconciliation.Click
 
        Try
            Dim LoadBankReconciliation As New BankReconciliation
 
            With LoadBankReconciliation
                .MdiParent = Me
                .Dock = DockStyle.Fill
                .Show()
            End With
        Catch ex As Exception
            MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString(), _
                            "Exception", _
                            MessageBoxButtons.OK, _
                            MessageBoxIcon.Error, _
                            MessageBoxDefaultButton.Button1)
        End Try
    End Sub

From the loaded MDIChild - to load the second MDIChild look-up form.

vb Code:

Private Sub SearchBankAccount_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
                                        ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles SearchBankAccount.Click
 
        Try
            Dim LoadBankCodeLookup As New BankCodeLookup
 
 
            With LoadBankCodeLookup
                .MdiParent = Me.MdiParent
                .Dock = DockStyle.None
                .TopMost = True
                .WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal
                .StartPosition = FormStartPosition.CenterParent
                .Show()
            End With
        Catch ex As Exception
            MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString(), _
                            "Exception", _
                            MessageBoxButtons.OK, _
                            MessageBoxIcon.Error, _
                            MessageBoxDefaultButton.Button1)
        End Try
    End Sub

That's the way MDI works. You can't maximise just one child. Either they're all maximised or none of them are.
