    Odd Problem with MDI

    When I maximize the Child Form in my MDI Container, a new menu/toolbar appears on the Parent form. I have tried removing the maximize and minimize buttons, but that does not work. Has anyone ran into scenario before?

    I edited your post and uploaded your screenshot to our forum instead of hosting it elsewhere. The page loads very slow when people use 3rd party hosting, especially free ones like imageshack.

    By uploading here, the page loads faster, and if you only upload a single image, it will automatically be shown on the post, you dont need IMG tags.


    As far as your issue, the menus of the MDI parent and MDI child merge when the child form is maximized in the parent. Is this what you see happening?

    well that is the standard for how MDI forms work. There are work around depending on what you want to do.

    How would you LIKE it to work?

    I want it to have the minimize,maximize, and close buttons available but I do not want to se a title bar above the menubar or toolbar. Below them is fine.

    you can't have min/max/close buttons without the titlebar.

    Is your menu and tool strip actually on the MDI parent, or MDI child?

    It's an MDI Child. I want the titlebar to look like it's part of the MDI parent.

    It's okay to have the icon up there.
