MdiParent changing button sizes

[bondsac]

Hi,

I have a form that displays fine when loaded without setting it's mdiParent property. However when i set the property the button height increases making the form appear fatter (it seems only to be buttons that do this)

- there's no code that i've written that sets the button height anywhere
- there's no window designer generated code that sets the button height (it uses the default 23,75 values
- i set a handler on button.resize (which gets called) and i can't stack trace it since it's called from "<non user code>"

i'm sure i must be missing something simple - but i can't for the life of me figure it out. Any light shed on this situation would be greatly appreciated.

I just discovered that if i set the mdiParent property after the form.show() call, then it's all good, but i set the mdiparent property before then the height of all sizable controls increases by a few pixels.

What is the anchor property set to for the buttons?

they were all topleft, i just set them all to "none", there is little difference and the buttons still expand, but a couple of them are expanding but only by 1 or 2 pixels this time. (almost unnoticable)
