MDI w/ Form Maximized - all Child windows repaint - looks sloppy

[Steve Hiemstra]

Hi All,

I am using Windows Forms (C#.NET) in MDI mode.

My 'View' is set to 'Maximized', but when I switch from Form-to-Form I am
seeing all of the other Forms repainting (as non-maximized windows), and it
looks very sloppy.

Right now I am just doing BringToFront( ) on a Form that already exists
(maybe this is why everything repaints like it does?).

All I want to do is show the Form 'Maximized', and not have any of the other
Forms repaint.

Is there a way I can do this?

I use visible property with small sub that has a enum handler and a varible
for current window showing.

like..

select case ParamWindow
case form1
frm1.show

..
..
select case OldWindow
Case form1
frm1.hide
..
..
