Hi For opening child forms as maximaized in mdi parent window set WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized; in resize event. void ChildForm_Resize(object sender, EventArgs e) { this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized;} Me also set the control box to false in child form. But it still appears. I am looking it now... :-D ~KD

Hi Irfan Kothari Just got an another !dea. Consider you have a mdi parent window. you can create your child window by deriving it from a Control class. Then it don't have control boxes.:-D . For making it maximaize put the dock style to DockStyle.Fill. This time u will get a child window with no control box , and also it is maximaized. Hopes this helps ~KD

If u can Dream... U can do it

Hi, Rather than setting the WindowState property of the child window to Maximized, try setting the dock property of the child form to DockStyle.fill jsut before calling the child form. I hope this would help..:) Cheers!!!!

But this time if you double click on the child window title bar , you can see control box(maximaize,mini,close) enabled.
