>We are developping an application in a MDI form environment. The problem that I have is with the display of the forms. Let say that we have 2 forms. The 2 forms are MDIChild. At first, I load (Show) the first form. The WindowState is Maximized for this form. The second form is like a property page (i don't want the user to resize the form...). But the problem is, when I load the second form, the first form is resize (don't stay maximized). One way to resolve this problem, is to set the MDIChild property to false for the second form, but I don't want this. To give you an idea of the dislay that I want, take a look at your VB IDE. It's a MDI environment. If you open the "Components window", you can't resize that form and all your "code window" stay Maximized. Is it still an API that I don't know!!!

The Components window isn't a child. It is a normal form with the BorderStyle property set to "Fixed dialod" or the like. Is this of any help?
