Problem when main form is run in minimize state.

[dlare9]

hi,

I've created a function that would save all application's information to an ini file when the application(Form) closes.
The only problem occurs when you close the apllication and the main window is in minimized and then run the application
again. The application would open to the its last state (w/c is minimized) and when you restore (or maximize) the application
the child form and the other forms included in the application did not load.
Why does this happen? (the child form and the other forms included in the main form did not appear when the main
form run in minimize state).
Do I need to save the state (minimize, maximize or normal) of an application to an ini file.



Any help or link would be much appreciated

You may have to store info about the child forms, too. Without knowing much about your app, I suspect that the child forms info is being lost when your app is restored or maximized.

Maybe this code snippet can help your problem.

Currently, I`m working on my project using .ini file and I have my code using this.
put this on your ini.cpp or what you want.

ChildMax= IniFile->ReadBool(sct,"ChildWinMaximize");
IniFile->WriteBool( sct,"ChildWinMaximize",ChildMax);

then,

in your mainform, refer the above code, example.

if ((MDIChildCount==1) && (EV->ChildMax)) cp->WindowState = wsMaximized;

just get the idea on my code. goodluck
