Thread: Resize a child window in MDI

Hi,
I was wondering if anybody knew how to maximize a child window when it is first created in an MDI application. Thanks

Thanks for your reply.
It seems that you can use SendMessage to do that but in which function should I call SendMessage so that everytime a new child window is created, it is maximised. My current MainFrame.cpp only has OnCreate() and PreCreateWindow() functions. Thanks for your time,

Found it:

Code:

void CChildFrame::ActivateFrame(int nCmdShow) 
{
   // Create the child frame window maximized
   nCmdShow = SW_MAXIMIZE;
   
   CMDIChildWnd::ActivateFrame(nCmdShow);
}

Makes life easy
