State of MdiClient

[MuZZy]

Hi,

I'm developing an MDI application and i am having a problem: how do i
know the state of MdiClient; what i mean is: when i maximize a MDI
child, then close it and then open a new MDI child, it will open
maximized, then if i change it's state to Normal and close, then next
opened MDI child screen will have state Normal.

So i assume that MdiClient keeps state of MDI child windows even if none
of child forms exists at the moment. How do i find that?

Thank you,
MuZZy

MuZZy,

Why not check the WindowState property of the child form itself?

Hope this helps.

Hi Nicholas,

Thanks for your response.

At the time i need to check the state, there are no child forms - all of
them are closed. My point is that MDIClient somehow preserves a state of
the last MDIchild and i need to find out how and where.

Thank you,

Why don't you hook to the Closing event of every child form you're showing?
Then, in the event handler, store the window's FormWindowState somewhere
and there you go.

Well, there should be some natural approach to that and i want to find it.
