Slow form drawing in an MDI application

[James Daughtry]

I have an MDI application with 5 child forms (presently). Performance
seems fine except when the child forms are maximized and I want to
switch between them. I see a quick flash of the normal sized windows
(all of the windows are supposedly maximized at this point), and then
the form I want to see shows. It appears as if all of the forms are set
to the normal window state (unmaximized), the form I want is brought to
the front, and then they are all maximized again. Documentation makes
no mention of such a problem that I can find, and the only information
online are questions like mine with no answers. ^_^

Am I doing something horribly wrong?

Sadly, my addition only mentions that questions concerning problems with MDI
applications and Child forms do not recieve any answering posts. Possibly -
Microsoft does not want us to construct applications using an MDI parent as
a containing framework.

Look to 31-Oct Garry, to see my post which has not elicited any response
about the client rectangle on the MDI parent.

You may find some answers on Google if you frame the query correctly or you
can pray.
