Visual Basic, MDI child form is moving down from it's parent

MDI child form is moving down from it's parent

Author	Message
Gary Garbe #1 / 4	MDI child form is moving down from it's parent I have a MDI child form which seems to reposition itself below and to the right of itself, each time it is invoked. In other words, the first time it is .SHOWn it's great (i.e. abuts it's MDI parent's toolbar). Then after it's unloaded, the next time I reenter it, it's .SHOWn "scooted" down and to the right. I do not have a TOP property coded. Also, the StartUpPosition says 0-Manual, but won't allow me to change this for a MDI Child form. Should I be using a HIDE rather than an Unload Me? I'm on VB 5.0 Thanks, Gary

Steve Redmye #2 / 4	MDI child form is moving down from it's parent I would simply place some positioning code in the forms load event.

Jay Vint #3 / 4	MDI child form is moving down from it's parent Try something like this: MDIForm1.AutoShowChildren = False Form1.Left = 0 Form1.Top = 0 Form1.Show Quote: >I have a MDI child form which seems to reposition itself below and to >the right of itself, each time it is invoked. >In other words, the first time it is .SHOWn it's great (i.e. abuts it's >MDI parent's toolbar).

(you can even specifie the Height and Width if you want...) Spell
