Childform doesn't start maximized 1

[Kostarsus]

Hi all,

I want to write an application, where the childform ist maximized at start. The MDI container starts maximized, when I call my code.
If I remove the MDI relation, the form mapWindow starts maximized, but if I set the MDI container, the window starts in state normal.
I use this code:

                MapWindow mapWindow = new MapWindow();
                mapWindow.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized;
                mapWindow.MdiParent = this;

                mapWindow.Refresh();
                mapWindow.Show();

Can anyone tell me, where is the error?
Thanks in reguards

what if you set the WindowsState to the parent's windows state value. Would that do anything?

you have need to write it like this though

mapWindow.MdiParent = this;
mapWindow.WindowState = mapWindow.MdiParent.WindowState

Notice that I am setting the parent first (flipping your code around)

Or maybe the refresh is causing your headache. Can you try with out that?

Thanks the order of the commands was the clue.
