Child forms sometimes does not appear?

[dlare9]

Hi to all,

I've created a application using BCB V6.
The only problem in my application is that sometimes the child forms in my application failed
to appear (or initialize). the child here is TForm and the main form is a TFrom also.
Is there something wrong in my application, Is this a bug in BCB or Do I need to adjust something in the Object Inspector of BCB?

I'm fairly new in using the BCB so most of the program I've done is by trial and error.

Any help or link would be much appreciated


p.s. I also noticed this type of behaviour in other application which has a child of TDockableForm


Regards,
Gerald

One the main form change the FormStyle property to fsMDIForm. On all the child forms, change the property to fsMDIChild.

If that still doesn't fix it, show us the code you use to call the child form.

Maybe my snippet can help to you.
In formshow, apply this;

if (!StartFile.IsEmpty())
CreateMDIChild(StartFile);
else
if ((EV->OpenLastFile)&&(!EV->LastFile.IsEmpty()))
CreateMDIChild(EV->LastFile);
else
if (!EV->HomeWindow.IsEmpty()) {
TMDIChild *cp = CreateMDIChild(EV->HomeWindow);
if (cp && EV->HomWinMax) cp->WindowState = wsMaximized;
}

SetFocus();
