Form Sizes under MDI

[Peter Grant]

A very simple question I suspect.

I create a form, and size it and use show to display it. If it is the child of an MDI parent my design time size settings do not apply and all forms appear the same size.

Can anyone help?

That's the way MDI child forms work. If you want to stop it happening then set the child form's BorderStyle = FixedSingle. You should also set MinButton = True, MaxButton = False

However, the 'correct' way to approach this (even though it's a lot more hassle) is to put code in the form's Resize event to control the positioning of the controls based on the size of the child form.
