MDI Positioning

[Guest]

Hello,

I am creating a MDI child window from a MDI parent window. I have tried
setting the Left and Top members before calling Show() and it seems to have
no effect. If I set Left and Top after calling Show() the form flashes in
the default location and moves into the position I set with Left and Top.

My question is how do I get the MDI child to appear in the location that I
want, without the flash?

Thanks,
Shawn

Don't use WindowsDefaultLocation for StartPosition

Have you set the child window's StartPosition to Manual first? You'll see
the property in the Form designer.

Thanks, I totally overlooked that one.
