Maximizing Child-Forms

[Flupke]

Hello everyone,

Firstof all, my very best wishes to all of you.

In a project with a MDI-form and several child-forms, the Windowstate of both MDI-form and child-forms is set to Maximized.
However, the first time I open a child-form, it is never displayed Maximized. The second and third are Maximized. It does not matter which of the three forms I open first; it is always the first that is not Maximized.

My code for opening the child-form is as follows:

Private fVerkoopschermTickets As frmVerkoopschermTickets

If IsNothing(fVerkoopschermTickets) OrElse fVerkoopschermTickets.IsDisposed Then
fVerkoopschermTickets = New frmVerkoopschermTickets
fVerkoopschermTickets.MdiParent = Me
fVerkoopschermTickets.Show()
Else
fVerkoopschermShop.BringToFront()
End If

Also, if I add to the code

frmVerkoopschermTickets.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized

or

fVerkoopschermTickets.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized

it does not have any result.

Does anyone have any idea?

Many thanks and greetings from Brugge (Bruges - Belgium),

Michel

Where in the code are you putting the Maximize code?

Have you tried setting the child forms' Maximized property to True at design time, in the Properties window?

Hello,

The Windowstate property is set to Maximized in the Properties window.

Additionally, I use the code
fVerkoopschermTickets.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized
after the fVerkoopschermTickets.Show() or the fVerkoopschermTickets.BringToFront()

If IsNothing(fVerkoopschermTickets) OrElse fVerkoopschermTickets.IsDisposed Then
fVerkoopschermTickets = New frmVerkoopschermTickets
fVerkoopschermTickets.MdiParent = Me
fVerkoopschermTickets.Show()
Else
fVerkoopschermShop.BringToFront()
End If

fVerkoopschermTickets.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized


Thank you for your help,

Michel
