    I don't know much about MFC, but with winapi you would call ShowWindow() with SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED
    Hope you don't mind my bad english, I'm Austrian!

    Isn't the constant SW_MAXIMIZE?

    showing window maximized

    you can maximize it from withing the view
    ((CMDIChildWnd*)GetParent())->MDIMaximize( );


    CMDIFrameWnd::MDIMaximize
    void MDIMaximize( CWnd* pWnd ); //where pWnd is the window you intend to maximize....


    if this is an MDI app ofcourse...

    Thank you all for your tip!

    They all worked but I have another problem now that maximized window caused!

    On my view I draw a two line graph, one below another.
    The graph's enlarges within window being maximized and the second line graph overstepes half of the first line graph.
    That's not good!

    It's SDI app.

    Can I fix that somehow???
