Code Window position on Startup VB IDE 3

[rchandr3]

I use VB6.

Whenever I open my project I see my code windows in a cascaded format. I always like the windows to be in maximised position and is there a setting which would enable my IDE to opne the last used form's code in maximised postion.

Thanks a TON for helping.

Cheers,

Ravi

Hi Ravi:

Try adding the following registry string entry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Visual Basic\6.0\MDIMaximized = "1"

Assuming it works in XP (I've set this up, but to no avail) - can you export the key from regedit so we can see the exact syntax?

thx.

Hi ArtieChoke:

The extract from my registry for this item is:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Visual Basic\6.0]
"MDIMaximized"="1"

That did the trick. Not sure why it didn't work when I put it in manually, 'cause it looked the same as above.

thx!

@CassandraR
This is indeed a veri helpful trick and you should get a sheriff sign according to me.
