    Mdi Child Load Maximized error

    Ok, I am pretty new to VB.Net and I am having some trouble with loading a child form into a Mdi form as Maximized. The form appears to be in the maximized state, but the child form does not fill the entire area unless i minimize it and maximize it again.

    I set the properties of the shild form to WindowState - Maximized and also set it on load like so

    VB Code:
    1. Private Sub lnkAdmin_LinkClicked(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.LinkLabelLinkClickedEventArgs) Handles lnkAdmin.LinkClicked

    2.         If pnlAdmin.Visible = False Then

    3.             pnlAdmin.Visible = True

    4.             picSamples.Top = picSamples.Top + 25

    5.             lnkSamples.Top = lnkSamples.Top + 25

    6.             pnlSamples.Top = pnlSamples.Top + 25

    7.             lnkReporting.Top = lnkReporting.Top + 25

    8.             picReporting.Top = picReporting.Top + 25

    9.             pnlReporting.Top = pnlReporting.Top + 25

    10.             picExit.Top = picExit.Top + 25

    11.             lnkExit.Top = lnkExit.Top + 25

    12.             frmAdminHelp.MdiParent = Me 'here is where i set the mdi parent

    13.             frmAdminHelp.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized 'Set maximized

    14.             frmAdminHelp.Show()

    15.  
    16.         Else

    17.             pnlAdmin.Visible = False

    18.             picSamples.Top = picSamples.Top - 25

    19.             lnkSamples.Top = lnkSamples.Top - 25

    20.             pnlSamples.Top = pnlSamples.Top - 25

    21.             lnkReporting.Top = lnkReporting.Top - 25

    22.             picReporting.Top = picReporting.Top - 25

    23.             pnlReporting.Top = pnlReporting.Top - 25

    24.             picExit.Top = picExit.Top - 25

    25.             lnkExit.Top = lnkExit.Top - 25

    26.             frmAdminHelp.Dispose()

    27.         End If

    28.     End Sub

    Re: Mdi Child Load Maximized error

    In 1.1, this worked without a problem:
    VB Code:
    1. Private frm2 As New Form2

    2.     Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

    3.         frm2.MdiParent = Me

    4.         frm2.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized

    5.         frm2.Show()

    6.     End Sub
    I'm not sure what the purpose of the extra code is...
