Hi there,

I have created an MDI Form (called mainSTRP), for now that form has but 1
form (frmTest) in it.

frmTest has been created including width and height. It's also set up as a
MDIchild. The weird thing is that when run the form size is changed to a
wider setting. Whatever I do before load - setting the width in code, etc
doesn't work. When I say MDIchild = false the form looks as I have created
it.

How can I maintain my settings and still have it be an MDIchild?

If you can help me solve that I would be eternally greatful!

Yours,

Kevin

Hi Kevin:

That is how MDI works.

You need to do two things:

1.  Ensure that you have set the AutoShowChildren=False on the main MDI Form.

2.  Size the form before you show it, i.e.

Load frmTest
frmTest.Width = ..etc
frmTest.Height = ...etc
frmTest.Show

Hope this helps,

Doug.

When you load the child form (Load frmTest), you can set the width and
height programmatically from mainSTRP.
