MDI child forms

A

AVL

Hi,
Ive created a MDI app..
I've used one of the mdi child forms as the backgroud scrren on the parent..
and set it's WindowState to 'Normal' and StartPosition to 'CenterScreen'..
to get the look n feel of a background iamge.

but the problem i'm facing is with the Maximize event..
whenever i open another MDI child form in maximized mode..
even the background MDI child form is getting maximized..
How can I control the resize of a child MDI forms..
I dont the resize event to fire if another MDI child form gets activated or
loaded

What you probably want to do is to change the background of the MDI parent
yes?

See Windows Forms Tips and Tricks for that information.
