The problem I see here is that during Init, the form size (height and width) reflect the design time height and width NOT the maximized height & width.

_AdjustControls() has to determine the amount the form has grown. The Maximize doesn't seem to actually take place until AFTER Init has finished. This means that _AdjustControls() won't work in Init because the form hasn't actually grown any at that time.

>>I created a class based mostly on the resizer in Marcia's '1001 Things ...' book. I've created a form class that has this resizer class on it (design time). The form's Resize event has the code:
>>

>>this.ntmResizer._AdjustControls(this)
>>

>>
>>The form class also has the WindowState property set to 2 - Maximized. For some reason, the controls never get adjusted when the screen is initially displayed.
>>
>>Once the form is displayed and I resize the form, controls grow and shrink appropriately. It's almost as if the Resize() event never gets called when the form initially maximizes.
>>
>>Any ideas on why this might be or what can be done to get the form to call resize when it Maximizes the window initially?
