MDI Child Window Menu Issue

mds336

I am having a menu issue when I open my child form. I have set the following properties on my child form: WindowState = Maximized, FormBorderStyle = FixedDialog, ContolBox = false, MaximizeBox = false and MinimizeBox = false. I create the form with the following code Form1 Frm = new Form1(); Frm.MdiParent = this; Frm.SHow(); When the child form opens an icon is placed to the left of the first item in the menu. When clicked on it gives you the restore options. Is there any way to stop the this from happening?

I came up with a quick solution. I just resized the forms to fit inside the MDI parent window and then set the BorderStyle to none. This accomplishes the look that I was looking for. Thanks for all of the suggestions.

Try setting the ControlBox property of the MDI child to false in the MDI Child form's resize event. - dip

The form was designed in Design Mode and the width is 1012 and the height is 641. The parent forms height is 1015 and the height is 650.

wow, this is a tough one... did you design the child form in Design Mode, or did you code it manually? What do you have the Form.Width and Form.Height set to? -James
