I'm working with an MDI form, the children of which are forms that contain a text box. (I'm writing and Editor).

When you resize a child, the contained textbox is also resized (in the Form_Resize event)

When I have multiple children open, and I maximize one of the children, I can see the re-sizing of the textbox on that child form.

Then, when I change from one child form to another, I also see a 'flash' when the selected child form resizes (and when the child's text box resizes!)

Anyone know how this 'flash' when the child form maximizes can be avoided?

My machine is pretty fast (800mhz PIII, 256mb Ram) so I don't think that's the issue.

It looks like the selected child form becomes the top most form, then resizes....instead of the other way around....

Anyone?
