[2005] Maximising Problem

[robertx]

Put this into the Form's Activated event handler:

Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal

It needs to go into the MDI Child Form's Activated event handler - see Post #2 above.

To always make the MDI child's window state normal:

Private Sub Form1_Activated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Activated
     Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal
End Sub

To always make the MDI child's window state maximised:

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
        Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized
End Sub
