[Rumblefish]

Hi guys!

My MDI form have a picture box inside them, on the right side of the window.

can u see the picture box with listview on the right side of the window? :P

my problem is about open child forms in fullscreen, without be hidding by picture box.

Any idea?

A screenshot of the actual problem would have been a lot better.

Agree w/Bonnie....your example picture doesn't tell us much. I am assuming you have a picturebox on your MDI form, and you have it aligned right. Yet, for some reason you can't see the listview within your PB. Your snapshot shows an image in a Normalized MDI, not Maximized one. If your width property is not set sufficiently to see the entire picturebox (with listview image?????), then you will see just a portion of your picturebox, cutting off the right-hand side. Not really sure if that is what is happening in your example or not, but if you can't see the entire picturebox at design time (with it aligned right), then you are not going to see it in Normal view NOR Maximized view. Just make sure the PB width is sufficient in design to see the entire PB.

He's problem is that the Childforms that open in FullScreen, go under the picture box and picture box comes on top of them.

Sorry! that is just how picturebox works on MDIForms.

On a MDI interface you can't, sorry.

maybe the right term is not to fullscreen. maybe you can use of the resize method of your child form less the size of the size of the picture box that you have.

I'm still not getting it. Is the Picturebox on the MDI form, or a child? If you place a PB on the MDIform (say right aligned), and want to see everything on a maximized child form (e.g. - not hidden by the MDI's PB), then open the MDI form in Maximized as well. In testing, I see everything on my maximized chiild form when the MDI form is maximized as well.
