Hi,

I have a situation where I have a MDI Parent form that contains a menuStrip
control at the top. When I launch a Child Form I specify:
frmChild.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized;

The problem is that the maximize/minimize buttons on the Child Form appear
above the MDI Parent's menuStrip...not below it where I would expect it. Is
there a setting that I can set to maximize the Child Form in the space below
the menuStrip?

Thanks!
Ron
 
I have the same problem, only in my case. Did you find a solution?

In my case, the child form is created and maximized during the parent form's constructor procedure. This is necessary because I have a long-time-to-load control. If I show the forms before they are created, they are displayed incorrectly and are unresponsive until the forms (and the big control) are completely loaded.

Was your situation similar?
