Easy MDI Parent/Child Question ...

[TheBionicOrange]

Is there an easy way to maximize an MDI child window within the parent ?

If I set the the 'WindowState' property to 'maximized' and run my program the child window just shows as a white screen ???

I am manually setting the height and width properties at the moment, but am sure this is not the correct way to go about it.

Anyone ??

in the MDI Form:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Me.Arrange 1
End Sub

hope this helps...

I tried that in the form load of the MDI master, which I presume is where you meant as I could not get the action 'ARRANGE' to show anywhere else.

Unfortunately this had no affect !!!

Should my MDI child windows still be set to maximum ? (although I did try and change this too but that didn't have any affect either !!).

you must set child borderstyle property to 2 (sizable)...

Yep, thats got it.

I knew there must be a simpler way.

Thanks for your help.
