MDI forms - Negotiate property

[markSaunders]

has anyone managed to get the <FONT FACE=monospace>Negotiate Toolbars</font> option to function properly in VB6?<br><br>i have a tree view (overlaying a picture) on the left side of the MDI form and when the MDI Child is opened it maximises into the remaining area as expected, but the toolbar does not <i>become one</i> with the MDI form?<br><br>any help appreciated....<br>m

Have you tried Placing the toolbar in a statusbar? I had the same problem until I resolved to do it this way.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;John Stephens

John, have checked the help and there's no indication of how to do this, also if i can do it - how does this avoid the same problem as it seems it would only make the status-bar a container for the toolbar, but the placement issue will still exist?

john, also (<i>sorry about the second post</i>!) having placed a <FONT FACE=monospace>statusbar</font> on the MDI parent and child form, on maximising the child form the statusbar simply mamimises across the horizontal as far as the <FONT FACE=monospace>Picture</font> control on the left (which contains the <FONT FACE=monospace>TreeView</font> navigation). i think the real fault lies in the fact the <FONT FACE=monospace>Negotiate</font> property not funtioning as one would expect.<br>cheers<br>m
