Is there anyway that I can get my MDI child forms to appear in the center of the parent form without jumping from the upper left corner?

The child forms always seem to start in the upper left corner and then move to the middle. This is annoying because it flickers briefly in the upper left corner before moving to the center.

I tried using the Sleep API and making the form invisible (along with a DoEvents) until after the move, but neither worked.

Does anyone know how to prevent the child form from appearing until it is in the center of the parent form?

Max Thx.
