MDI Child goes to bottom of MDI form

[bluejaguar456]

Hey Guys,

This is a weird one but hopefully someone can help me with it.

 

I currently have an MDI form called MDIECLYPSE

 

Whenever i load another form that i want to be a child form i use this code at the moment, in the form_load section of the child form;

 

me.mdiparent = MDIECLYPSE

 

This then sets the child form to fill the MDI form.

 

If i try to put it to its normal size by using,

 

me.windowstate = windowstate.normal

 

The child form goes right to the bottom of the MDI and you have to scroll back up in order to get to the top of the MDI form again.

 

Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this and how it could be solved?

 

Thanks

 

Bluejag.

Try setting the form's Size and Location properties before showing the form.

 

It is likely that those values are setting the form outside of the parent's viewable region.
