Why won't my child window start out maximized

[yert33]

Main form is a Top Level Form with WindowState = 2 (Maximized)
It calls another form which is also ToLevel Form and WindowState=2. But when it appears, it's not Maximized, but in a Normal state. The Windows Maximize button is enabled up at top right along with the Minimize button. I have disabled the Close button for this form.

I want the child form to be maximized when it first appears. What am I missing ?

Thank you.

I don't know if this has any relation to the sizing issue, but your child form needs to be set as Show Window = 1, In a top level form.

Regards,
Jim

But I don't want it to be In Top Level Form, I want it to be it's own Top Level Form.....

The properties you should use are ShowWindow = 2 (As Top Level) and WindowsState = 2 (Maximized).

That's what I have, Mike. That's why I'm wondering why it won't appear maximized.

I also have
AlwaysOnTop=.T.
AutoCenter=.T.
Closable=.F.
Desktop=.T.
Height=1153
MaxHeight=1600
MaxWidth=1600
ScaleMode=3
ScrollBars=3
ShowWindow=2
Width=1600
WindowState=2

The Height is from what Sysmetric(22) returns

MaxHeight and MaxWidth have nothing to do with maximizing a form; they simply determine the largest the form can be resized to by dragging.
