MDI Child form hides background photo on Window Maximize 1

[rtshort]

I have created a MDI project and loaded a logo onto another form and displayed it using the following code in the resize event:

frmImage.imgLogo.Move 0, 0
frmImage.Width = frmImage.imgLogo.Width
frmImage.Height = frmImage.imgLogo.Height
frmImage.Left = (Screen.Width - frmImage.Width) / 2
frmImage.Top = (Screen.Height - frmImage.Height) / 2
frmImage.Show

The problem I'm having is when the app is minimized to the task bar, then maximized again, if a child form is open at the time the logo centers itself in front of the child form.
What do I need to do to stop this from happening so the child forms will have focus?

There are other ways to display a picture in an MDI background.. You can also centralise a picture in an MDI Background via code.

If that is possible, then you dont have to employ a form for doing that.

As a first step, look at the picture property of MDIForm.

The PictureProperty has an icon that shows up in the left upper corner. I can remove that if I can use the logo, but how do I center it with code?

Thanks

Thanks a million. I actually found an activex control someone wrote and had it available for download. It works great.

Thanks for taking the time to help me!
