    [2008] MDI parent in front of windows task bar

    Hi,

    My MDI parent form sizes itself so that the activity field (with the start button etc) doesn´t show. This happens every now and then and I can´t figure out why.

    Of course I want to see the activity field, so I´d appreciate any help.

    Thanks.

    Fuga.

    The "activity field"? Do you mean the Windows Task Bar, with the Start button at one end and the clock at the other?

    Yes, that´s what I mean.

    I translated it from swedish, that´s why I called it activity field.

    Also, my question is for Windows XP.

    Sorry for being unclear.

    Thanks for reply.

    Sorry for bumping, but I thought that since the title was wrong, people missed it.

    I have now concluded that the problem occurs when the app is activated by either by the user pressing it in the task bar, or by using alt+tab.

    Is this some sort of bug? Surely I´m not the only one with this problem.
