MDI environment

[Guest]

I have an MDI parent form which can host MDI children. At startup, before the
parents LayoutMdi-method is run, the parent cascades each new child created.
When I start, say 2 children, then terminates them and then start another
child, this child does not locate itself in the upper left corner within the
parent, but instead down and to the right a bit where it should have been if
the first two still existed.

I've tried to refresh the MDILayout after a new child is created by calling
the parents LayoutMdi-method. This relocates the children correctly but, as
is standard behaviour, resizes them too and I do NOT want this to happen.

Is there a way to solve this problem without having to run the
LayoutMDI-method?

Hi Bevo,

Set the StartupPosition for the child forms to Manual. You will be responsible for your own cascading, but you could pass along the position in the constructor of the child.
