[RESOLVED] MDIchild form moving after every .Show

[madmaxmenon]

Hi,
I use this code:

Unload frmChild
DoEvents
frmChild.Show

When the child form is shown, its border size remains the same but its location in the parent MDI Form changes. How can i get rid of this?
Thanks

It's StartUpPosition property is probobally set to 3 - Windows Default. Try to change it to 1 - CenterOwner.

its set to 0-manual, and i am not able to change it. I get an "invalid property value" when i try to change it.

Ohh... forgot we were talking about MDI's Try this (in MDIChild's Form_Resize sub):

Private Sub Form_Resize()
    Me.Move ((MDIForm1.ScaleWidth / 2) - (Me.ScaleWidth / 2)), ((MDIForm1.ScaleHeight / 2) - (Me.ScaleHeight / 2))
End Sub

Btw... also, try to hide it (Me.Hide) instead of unloading it
