Hi,

I have a situation where I have a MDI Parent form that contains a menuStrip
control at the top. When I launch a Child Form I specify:
frmChild.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized;

The problem is that the maximize/minimize buttons on the Child Form appear
above the MDI Parent's menuStrip...not below it where I would expect it. Is
there a setting that I can set to maximize the Child Form in the space below
the menuStrip?

Thanks!
Ron

I had some odd issues with MDI parents as well.
