MDI children always maximized?

hi there :)

i have a problem here: i have a parent form with a couple of MDI children. they all must be _ALLWAYS_ maximized.

i already realized that there is no minimize, close or restore box and i have implemented a toolstrip with buttons to toggle between those children.
but sometimes they get restored from maximized to normal.
then i have to do

Code:

---

WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized;

---

which causes the window to animate. so every time i toggle between those children, i get this animation.

my simple question is: how do i keep those children allways maximized?
this is for an application where every task has his own child form instead of a tab in one form.

thanks in advance :)

Check out MSDN for window styles you can set on MDI children windows. Some combination should get it set that they can't be un-maximized.

yea thats what i actually tried, but what exact combination is it (C#)?

Well, if you're referring to C# programming, give the following a try when you create the child windows:

Code:

---

//Get the rectangle describing the primary display
  rect = System.Windows.Forms.Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds;

  //Set our window to cover the entire display
  this.ClientSize = rect.Size;

---

that's actually a great idea:

Code:

---

Location = new System.Drawing.Point(0, 0);
                        ClientSize = new System.Drawing.Size(Parent.Width, Parent.Height);

---

set the window to cover everything.
thanks :)
